Anthony Lishman
Executive Director
CCE has appointed Anthony Lishman as Executive Director. This is a new, full
time position designed to help the consortium grow through a process of raising
its sector profile and achieving a progressive increase in membership.
Anthony takes up his position on 4 August. Most recently he was regional general
manager for the Niche Hotel group, based at its Cotswolds venue Wyck Hill House,
where he was responsible for a £3 million investment to expand bedroom capacity
and extend conference and leisure facilities, and for developing new business.
Previously he managed his own executive search and business consultancy,
specialising in the conference centre and hospitality sectors. This followed a
nine year career with Initial Style conferences (now De Vere Venues), including
a period as multi site general manager with specific responsibility for the
development of the group’s Wychwood Park and Cheadle House conference and
training centres in Cheshire. He successfully managed the projects to develop
both venues from greenfield sites to fully operational businesses with multi
million pound turnovers. His previous roles with Initial Style included general
manager positions at two Buckinghamshire venues, Uplands in High Wycombe and
Harben House in Newport Pagnell.
