Martin said, “I’m proud to be part of Emporium Hotels’ evolution and the projects I have worked on to-date with the Anthony John Group. I have the privilege to be leading a dedicated team of hospitality professionals, backed by the unwavering passion and support of Anthony and Francine John. Emporium Hotel South Bank is a truly exquisite property, which is already setting new boundaries in the industry in terms of bespoke design, innovative culinary offerings and genuine professional service. It’s an incredible hotel and it’s an honour to be the General Manager and responsible for the next chapter in the brand’s success”.
