Tim Pollock has been appointed as General Manager at Crowne Plaza Auckland

Tim Pollock
Experienced hotelier Tim Pollock has returned to New Zealand to take up an Auckland-based role. Tim’s new role with the global InterContinental Hotel Group is as General Manager Crowne Plaza Auckland, and IHG’s Area General Manager for New Zealand. Tim started in the position last week, taking up this new challenge from his previous role as IHG’s Area General Manager in Papua New Guinea. He spent eight successful years overseeing IHG’s hotels in PNG, including leading the team that opened the first Holiday Inn Express in Australasia. Delighted to be back in his home country after a substantial time spent overseas, Tim said it was an “exciting” time to re-enter New Zealand. During his time in PNG, Tim was known for mentoring many senior leaders. His dedication and commitment to local PNG talent saw Ida Golu join the team as Hotel Manager for Holiday Inn Express Port Moresby, the first time a PNG national has taken such a high profile leadership role. Before his time in PNG, Tim worked with the Heritage Group in New Zealand in various General Manager roles across several key destinations.
