I look forward to working with Club Committees, staff, industry colleagues and Parliamentarians to continue the work of The Club and drive forward this much respected cornerstone of the British tourism industry.”

I know Nick already has the full support of The Club staff and Committee Members and I am sure he will have the full support of everyone else in our industry.”
He added “I hope he finds his time as Director General as rewarding and enjoyable as I have.”
