Alan joined us in 2021. He started his career with Moto Hospitality Ltd, the UK's largest motorway service area operator, working over ten years in various operational and latterly commercial roles. Subsequently he became the Head of Ancillary Revenue for Premier Inn, before proceeding to intu Properties as Head of Business Support, with oversight on operational aspects of managing over 20million square feet of prime retail and leisure real estate throughout the UK. During his time with intu, the business won numerous sector accolades within facilities management and achieved both ISO 9001 and IIP Gold accreditations. Holding an BA Hon(s) in Business Enterprise, he also graduated with a PG Diploma in multi-unit leadership and strategy from Birmingham City University in 2016. Married to Shakila and when dad's taxi cab duties allow, other interests include most sports, but mainly trying to avoid getting injured so he can run the odd marathon.
