We are delighted to welcome Simon Dowell as our new Commercial Director.
Simon joins us from Marriott International where he worked across multiple brands leading property sales and marketing teams in the UK and China. In this role he drove property, cluster and area goals.
He brings with him a wealth of experience and knowledge from the hotel sales and marketing industry. In particular, Simon will be offering new insights into the hotel sales dynamic and what teams need to be successful.

‘Observing how UpMail has accelerated the hotel B2B sales cycle and increased booking conversion throughout its impressive client portfolio has been the key reason why I have taken on this new and exciting position within the business’.
