Born and bred in Tamworth, Daine is a proud local and a strong supporter of the Tamworth business community.

With over 25 years of experience in the hospitality industry, Daine is the General Manager of the Powerhouse Hotel Tamworth by Rydges. Starting as a restaurant waiter at the Workshop Café in 2005, Daine has spent the past 20 years refining and honing his skills to reach the position he holds today.

This experience has also led him to join the Tamworth Business Chamber as a proud advocate for the local business community.

Daine believes in strong teamwork and communication, and he is passionate about promoting local producers, suppliers, and the Tamworth region as a destination for food and wine culture.

Outside of work, Daine is a proud father to Nova and husband to Suzie. He is a passionate sports supporter who enjoys a round of golf—but this is far outweighed by his love for video gaming and pop culture.
