Andrew Mosley’s Hotel General Management career spans over 30 years, running businesses for Shire Hotels, Corus and Regal Hotels, QHotels and De Vere Hotels which included time as Director of Operations at The Belfry, the 4 time Ryder Cup venue. He was General Manager/Managing Director of The Grand Hotel, Brighton for nearly 15 years. During his career he also held several multi property Regional Director roles.

In his time at The Grand he firmly re-established the hotel as a first choice venue for business and leisure. The Grand employs over 300 staff.
Andrew left The Grand Brighton in December 2024 to start his own business which offers Mentoring and Executive Coaching, Consultancy and Business Improvement/Change and Public Speaking.

Andrew’s leadership ‘mantra’ has always focussed on People, Delivery and Sales. His commitment to put the team at the front of the business was rewarded in 2019 with a Catey for The Grand as Best Employer in Hospitality. A Catey is generally regarded as The Hospitality Industry’s greatest accolade.
Andrew has been an active member of The Meetings Industry Association (MIA) for nearly 20 years and was Chair from 2014 to 2016. He will once again become Chair in February 2025 for a further 2 years. The MIA is widely viewed as the event industry’s leading association representing and advising it’s members, lobbying government, running events and providing B2B opportunities.

Andrew is an established mentor and has mentored approximately 30 individuals. Significantly, he has contributed to programmes such as Fast Forward 15 – which offers business coaching and mentoring to female professionals looking to advance their careers in the hotel, meetings and events industry.

Andrew has also always been a strong participant in the local business communities in which he has run hotels, none more so than in Brighton where he (still) sits on the Board of Trustees of Rockinghorse - a local children’s charity supporting the Royal Alexandra Hospital

Finally, with such a wealth of experience, Andrew inevitably has a compelling story to tell as a public speaker – with delivery ranging from his approach to business, how he came to work and ‘grow up’ in Hotels as well as “The importance of focussing on performance over results”. Furthermore, there are also, inevitably, stories from behind the scenes of the many hotels he has worked in or managed. Amusing, endearing and occasionally tear jerking these include serving room service to badly behaved pop stars to taking afternoon tea with Royalty as well as, most importantly, looking after guests who have saved hard to afford an overnight stay.
