Irish footballer Stephanie Roche has been announced as brand ambassador for FBD Hotels and Resorts.

Roche, who was nominated for FIFA's goal of the year earlier this year, commented 'I have always loved to travel and the sense of occasion associated with hotels and the wider hospitality industry. From travelling overseas for a match, attending a business meeting, enjoying a leisurely weekend or celebrating family birthdays and weddings, hotels play a central role in all of our lives'.
