Brodie Green has been promoted to director of operations at Glasgow’s Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel & Spa.
Green was promoted by IHG Hotels & Resorts following a successful career in food & beverage leadership at its voco Grand Central Glasgow.
The appointment was described as a testament to IHG Glasgow’s ‘commitment to career development and internal talent progression’, and a showcase of the multi-site opportunities available across the group’s Glasgow properties.
Having worked in hospitality from the age of 18, Brodie began her career working as assistant F&B manager at the renowned 29 Royal Exchange Square in 2017, advancing to manager before joining voco Grand Central as restaurant manager in 2019.
She took on a role at Auchrannie Hotel in Arran in 2021 before returning to the voco Grand Central as C&B manager, later securing the F&B lead position in 2022.
Her performance in that role earned her ‘Manager of the Year’ in 2022, and the ‘F&B Operational Excellence Award’ in 2023. Brodie has also been a key voice in industry leadership, recently speaking as a panellist at IHG’s inaugural Women in Leadership Conference in 2024.
She said: “I’m honoured to step into this role at Kimpton Blythswood Square Hotel & Spa and to continue my career path with IHG.
“My journey with the team here has been incredible, and I’m looking forward to working at Glasgow city centre’s only five-star hotel to continue delivering excellence in guest experience and operations.”
Coco Grand Central General manager Marcello Ventisei commented: “Brodie has been an invaluable part of our team, and I’ve personally had the privilege of working closely with her and witnessing her dedication, leadership, and passion for hospitality firsthand.
“Her drive and commitment have played a key role in driving excellence across our F&B operations, and her promotion to director of operations at Kimpton Blythswood Square is incredibly well deserved.
“While she will be greatly missed at voco Grand Central, I couldn’t be prouder to see her take this next step within IHG.”
As a result of Brodie’s move, voco Grand Central is now recruiting for two key positions: Bar Manager at Champagne Central and F&B Operations Manager at voco Grand Central.
