Joe says: “I’m really pleased to have been given the opportunity to head the Esplanade Hotel as general manager. I have a passion for hospitality and am excited to ensure that the hotel is among the top names in the hospitality industry in Scarborough. It’s great to work with a respected local employer, and I look forward to ensuring the best possible service for our guests.”
