LGH Management have announced the appointment of Joanne White as the new General Manager at the Holiday Inn Milton Keynes Central in line with their wider strategy to reinvigorate the hotel as a central hub of the local community.

White’s appointment at the Holiday Inn Milton Keynes Central follows an internal move for the previous General Manager, Kevin Coombes, who is now in situ as the General Manager for the Holiday Inn Brentwood, both hotels are managed by LGH Hotels Management.
White’s vision is to develop the already highly successful hotel, maximising the Holiday Inn brand’s reputation, tools and resources to achieve further commercial success, but also to leverage a ‘big brand’ with a very localised approach at heart. Joanne plans to forge long-lasting local partnerships that will firmly build their reputation as being at the forefront of the Milton Keynes community.
Now in situ at the Holiday Inn Milton Keynes Central, White will work with other Milton Keynes hoteliers to launch ‘Hospitality Connect’, a brand-new national project that will provide meaningful careers education for Milton Keynes schools. Schools in the area will benefit from a high impact hotelier partnership that will help to build the industry’s reputation as a career of choice and provide exciting opportunity pathways for the local youth.
With a talent for delivering business growth and enhancing guest experience, White is thrilled to bring her wealth of over 20 years’ experience as a senior hospitality leader to the Holiday Inn Milton Keynes Central team commenting, “I’m delighted to join this hard-working and talented team and want to thank all staff at the hotel as well as LGH Management for the warm welcome and support I have received as I have settled in.
