Former HM Award-winning Australian General Manager of the Year, Clinton Farley, has begun a new role as General Manager at the Stamford Plaza Auckland.

Farley was most recently the General Manager at Radisson on Flagstaff Gardens Melbourne, the Kiwi native returns home to Aotearoa after six years overseas and holds over two decades overall industry experience.

In addition to Radisson, Farley has been part of opening teams for Hilton and has also served on multiple industry boards, including as a Councillor for Tourism Accommodation Australia’s Victoria chapter.
