Danielle Dunn

The £10 million Hampton by Hilton at Hamilton Park is the latest hotel to receive backing from AIB (GB) in Scotland, after the team won the bid to work with the developer. 

Danielle Dunn, business growth manager in the hotel and leisure team at AIB (GB) Scotland and North East England, said: “Hampton by Hilton at Hamilton Park represents a sound investment for the bank and a fantastic addition to the growing portfolio of businesses that we have the privilege of working with.

“Hampton by Hilton is a recognisable brand and this is a high-profile site. Our decades of working with both hotel and racing sector clients meant we were a great fit to support the development project.”

“Scotland’s hotel industry is booming and, as a niche, sector-focused bank with a specialism in the hotel and leisure areas, we have become an attractive choice of banking partner for developers and operators.”

Allied Irish Bank has dedicated sector lending funds open to businesses operating in the hotels and hospitality, manufacturing, healthcare and energy sectors.
