IoH appoints for south east region

The Institute of Hospitality (IoH) has announced the latest appointments under its new regional structure, with the latest recruits set to focus on the south east. 

Francisco Macedo FIH MU SJS, group operations director at Iconic Luxury Hotels & Cliveden, has been confirmed as the region's first IoH chair.

Macedo says of his new role: "I am extremely delighted to be taking over as the chair for the newly formed IoH south east region, continuing the work we did when we were heading the Thames Valley Branch, and supporting Robert (CEO of the IoH) and his team in driving engagement amongst our members and proactive collaboration with the other regional committees.

"It is an exciting time for the Institute as it prepares itself for the Chartered Status application, and we look forward to working together to support this important step in history.

"The hospitality industry never had so much focus, so it is crucial that we continue to raise the industry flag and over the next few weeks, we will be working on our plan of activities ensuring that we cover events across the region."

Joining Macedo as joint vice-chairs will be Mike Wood FIH and Mark Taylor FIH. 

The trio will be announcing their committee members in the coming weeks and together will be working alongside the IoH central team to devise and implement a plan of exciting activities for members and non-members across the new south east region.
