The city has got a great split of business for hotels, attracting both corporate and leisure travellers which makes my role at The Residence Inn so interesting.\u201d<\/p>\n Stoyle joins The Residence Inn from Accor, where he held the role of cluster sales manager in Birmingham. He has served in similar sales positions for Novotel, Staycity<\/a>, and CLC World Resorts & Hotels.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cJoining the team at The Residence Inn is perfect for me,\u201d said Stoyle. \u201cI wanted to get back into the extended stay market. We are a very corporate city, but also leisure orientated. Sport, location filming, construction is all there. This hotel is the kind of product that suits all of those markets. \u201c<\/p>\n Adrian Grosjean, co-owner of The Residence Inn by Marriott Manchester Piccadilly,\u00a0 said: \u201cManchester is arguably the UK\u2019s second city after London with a rapidly expanding and highly competitive hospitality scene. It is crucial to have the very best people in place to lead our hotel into a bright future, so we are delighted to welcome Simon and Sam onboard.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cTheir appointments signify a new chapter for the hotel as we look towards expansion and further build on our reputation for delivering exceptional customer service.\u201d<\/p>\n
