Seven finalists unveiled for GM of the Future Award 2023

Seven finalists have been announced for the GM of the Future Award 2023, organised by the Master Innholders in partnership with Independent Hotel Show Awards.

The GM Of the Future Award was established to honour young professionals who have shown a commitment to leadership development within hospitality.

Nominations were judged by a panel of hoteliers and industry experts, including Glenn Wallace, event director at Montgomery Group; Dan Rose-Bristow, chair of the Master Innholders and owner of the Torridon Resort; and Petra Clayton, creator and chief executive of Custard.

Rose-Bristow said: "It has been immensely encouraging and humbling to see so many people from across the sector apply and wanting to pursue a career as a general manager. Narrowing down the candidates was a challenging task, but we are confident that all the finalists are on a promising path to becoming successful hoteliers."

The following individuals have been shortlisted for the GM of the Future Award 2023:

  • Daisy Turney, Operations Manager, The PIG-on the beach
  • Jordan Hughes, Hotel Manager, Northcote Hotel Ltd
  • Leanne Silavant, Front Office Manager, The Castle Hotel
  • Niek de Rijcke, Guest Experience Coordinator, Dorchester Collection
  • Daniel Greenock, Restaurant Manager, Gleneagles
  • Chiara Sorrentino, Operations Manager, Exclusive Hotels
  • Chris Bancroft, Operations Manager, The Newt in Somerset

The winners of the awards will be announced on 16 October, which will coincide with the end of the first day of the Independent Hotel Show.
