Having spent several years after this from 2014 to 2017 working in senior management roles with Dalata - Irelands largest Hotel group, throughout properties in Ireland and the UK, William has really established himself as a dynamic individual, with serious ambition!

In 2017 William decided to return to Ireland and joined the Comer Group as General Manager of the Shearwater Hotel in Ballinasloe where he learnt invaluable experience from another well know hospitality brand.

In 2019 William joined the Talbot Collection, who now have 8 properties in their hotel portfolio, where he worked as General Manager in Carlow, and as of very recently Regional Area Manager in the Southeast Region.
