 Senior Vice President Operations, Warren Cullum, said Mr Commons was perfectly suited to his new role with Wyndham Destinations Asia Pacific.

“He is a high-calibre appointment who is extensively experienced across all aspects of hospitality and is looking forward to the change in scenery that comes with his move to one of New South Wales’s premier tourist destinations.”

Mr Commons will oversee the daily operations of the 201-room Ramada Shoal Bay, which boasts indoor and outdoor pools, a children’s pool, onsite bars and restaurants, day spa, fitness centre and meeting facilities suited to conferences, events and weddings.
