ABOUT GARY MARDLE
FP & A leader with 20 years in travel and hospitality, built across the full complexity spectrum — FTSE 100 PLC (TUI, €20bn turnover) and private equity (Warner Hotels, Blackstone). I\'ve run planning cycles end-to-end at group and divisional level. Expert in budgeting, forecasting, five-year strategic plans, board reporting, and investor relations support. Equally at home presenting to a PE fund team as to a listed-company IR function. At Warner, I led the FP & A function through a period of significant transformation — new hotel openings, significant capex deployment, a carve-out from group, and building of long term strategic business plans. I also drove the transition to USALI reporting, enabling benchmarking against STR, HOTSTATS and other external sources for the first time. At TUI, I owned the Group strategic planning cycle, designed end to end profitability frameworks across a 400-hotel owned portfolio, and worked directly with the IR team on market communications and KPI development. Sector background spans tour operations, owned hotels, and short-break hospitality. ACMA qualified; all first-time passes.
