When British voters opted to exit the European Union in 2016, Irish hotelier Pat McCann hit the pause button on U.K. expansion. Two years on, he’s full of growth plans in Britain.
Dalata Hotel Group Plc, Ireland’s largest hotelier, has nine hotels in Britain, with two more planned in coming months. He sees four more in the U.K. in 2020 and two more in 2021. His decision to hold fire after the referendum left the slate empty for 2019.
