Patrick Ryan

I have spent almost my whole career in the Hospitality Industry. Initially with Inter-Continental Hotels Corporation I worked in  their New York office beofre transferring to their Europe Middle East Headquarters  in Paris and later London as the Executive Assistant to the President. After 7 years with IHG I joined specialist Surveors Christie  + Co  in London   in 1989 and trained to become a Hotels Negotiator. I subsequently became a Board Director and 10  years later was appointed Managing Director of their Brokerage and Insurance Division Christie Finance and Christie Insurance. Returning to Ireland in 2009 I joined the fledgling Agency NAMA which was being established after the financial crash and spent a further 10 years there where I was  a Senior Manager and their Hotel Sector Specialist. I joined Colliers in December 2020.

I worked closely with colleages in the hotels rationalisation of the  Trust House Forte [ later Forte ] Hotels Group and similarly  spent a number of years  disposing of the  Queens Moat House Hotel collection when that plc was in difficulty. I was also part of the initial Corporate Division which is still thriving today. The established of the Christie + Co International Division and the opening of its first overseas office in Paris gave me great satisfaction. The later challenge of taking over the management of Christie Finance and Christie Insurance and making it sucessful was very satisfying.  Joining NAMA in the middle of a deep financial crisis presented  its very own set of unique challenges and to achieve  the outright monetsation of a very substantial hotel book of loans was very gratifying.
