Sheila O’Callaghan has over 15 years of hospitality industry experience and possesses a wealth of knowledge in all areas of the tourism sector. She has a very strong background in online travel agency markets as well as an abundance of hotel experience.

Lake Hotel HR Manager, Sarah Mannix, said Sheila will be a wonderful asset to the business and her experience will bring a fresh approach to a business that is already very successful.
