John Kettner – Co-Founder

John joined SKA Hotels, a hotel sales and marketing agency founded by his father, Stuart Kettner (1947-2013) in 2012. He led the re-focus and re-branding of the company to a whole-of-market venue finding agency, Vantage Venues, in 2022.

John has over 10 years’ experience in the travel and events industry and a passion for hotels which drives our company and service offering. Though always unfailingly neutral when it comes to venues and destinations, John does have a few cities which he considers particular favourites. Several are featured throughout our website. How many can you spot?!
