Hemingways Group has named Mr. Ross Evans as their new Chief Executive Officer.
In his new role, Mr. Evans will be responsible for all management of the Hemingways Group which includes the Hemingways Collection luxury hotel division, Express Travel Group and Hemingways Expeditions.
Evans is set to take up this role from April 2021. He has previously served as Hemingways Group’s Operations Director for over five years.
This appointment is in line with Hemingways Group’s succession plan developed for the past 5 years, as Mr. Alastair Addison will be stepping down as CEO and moving back to live in Scotland and be closer to his family.
Addison will take on a key part time executive position directing the Sales and Marketing strategy of Hemingways Collection, maintaining many key relationships with Hemingways’ trade partners, as well as supporting strategic board initiatives and continuing to support his fellow directors on certain day to day business matters.
He will remain an executive director of the Group and will play a fundamental role in Hemingways’ recovery from the Covid 19 pandemic as well as its continued business growth in the hospitality and travel sector.
While making the announcement, Hemingways Group Chairman, Mr. Dicky Evans said “I want to thank Alastair enormously for his valuable contribution to the Group as CEO for the past 10 years.
I am delighted we have retained Alastair’s invaluable experience and leadership and I am excited about the future prospects for our business. The last year has presented us with incredible challenges however our industry has shown amazing resilience in very difficult circumstances,” Mr. Evans noted.
