"I am looking forward to the challenge of running a hotel which will undergo significant change in the coming year. This includes the introduction of a new  hotel management system, and a complete rebrand, which should happen in March.  With both these changes will come the challenge of new operating procedures and getting a young team to embrace those changes", says Bruce.

Erin Yang, Vice President Human Resources for the Rendezvous Hospitality Group says, "we look forward to Bruce's continued service to the Group and we believe that his leadership and knowledge will assist the Marque Brisbane to lift to a new level of success".
