The Royal St George has announced that long-standing club manager Paul Finnegan is to retire in August, with Ann Gill stepping into the role from May 10 onwards.
Ann is an accomplished professional with a strong and successful background in the hospitality industry, most recently as General Manager in top rated hotels such as the Mulranny Park Hotel in Westport, Co. Mayo and the Marriott Johnstown House Hotel in Enfield, Co. Meath.
Ann’s remit, along with the General Committee, is to grow the club's membership and revenues of the Club, retaining the high standards and efficiency that the club brings to its sailing and shore based facilities and services.
Ann will work with Paul Finnegan until his retirement to ensure a smooth transition in the management of all Club activities and operations. Ann will lead the club's new management team of Ronan Adams, Sailing Manager and Geraldine Keogan, Catering Manager.
"On behalf of the General Committee and my fellow Flag Officers, I am delighted to welcome Ann to the Club and we look forward to benefitting from her many talents in the years ahead," said Commodore Patrick Blayney.
