Sun International is pleased to announce that the group has appointed Bryan O’Connor to the position of General Manager for its Carnival City Casino & Entertainment World property in Brakpan.
O’Connor’s introduction to casinos began over 20 years ago at Sugar Mill Casino in KwaZulu Natal, as a Training Officer. He first joined the Sun International group in 2015 as Group Food and Beverage Manager (F&B) for Casino Operations after Sun’s acquisition of Headline Leisure Management (HLM).
In 2017 he was moved to the newly built Time Square Casino complex in Pretoria, where he played an integral role in setting up the new F&B Department. By 2020 he was promoted to Operations Manager of the unit.
Sun International CEO, Anthony Leeming said, “In addition to Bryan’s gaming and F&B background, he brings valuable experience in the leadership and management space. His knowledge of casino operations, coupled with his commitment and passion made him the natural choice to head up Carnival City. I would like to congratulate him and wish him well in his new role.”
O’Connor has a National Diploma in Hospitality Management as well as a BTech HRD Degree. He says, “I am honoured to be stepping into this position, and I look forward to working alongside the team at Carnival City to ensure that we go above and beyond meeting the expectations of our guests.
“In my spare time, I enjoy long distance running. The reward in that comes from setting and then achieving my goals and targets. I am looking forward to meeting up with other local runners as well.”
