Dan Wilson has been appointed as General Manager at Mercure Southampton Centre Dolphin Hotel

Hailing from Southampton, Dan joins the hotel with over 12 years of experience in the hospitality industry. He started his career aged 15 years with work experience for two weeks in a local hotel. This was his light-bulb moment, and from here he decided that his future lay in the hotel sector. Dan worked his way up the ladder, starting as a day porter at the same hotel, and his skills and talent were quickly spotted. He shortly after graduated from the company's Management Training programme. He then went onto to the position of general manager at the Langrish House Hotel in Petersfield, Hampshire.
