Paddy Dalton

Paddy’s approach to pub brokerage is grounded via an intimate connection to the industry; shaped by a personal and professional journey that began well before his career at HTL Property commenced. As the eldest son of second-generation publican Mark Dalton, Paddy has inherited a reputation for integrity, innovativeness; and an unwavering commitment to excellence – a reputation that Paddy is committed to upholding.

Paddy’s induction into the hotel industry came at just 12 years old, washing dishes at the Canobolas Hotel under the mentorship of his father, and industry renowned business partners Phil Tudor and Arthur Laundy. This early immersion fostered an innate appreciation for the rigor and dedication that drives success in the hospitality sector; and which was further cultivated through years of hands-on experience managing boutique regional hotels and working alongside some of Australia’s most celebrated publicans – such as Taffy Thomas and Pete Calligeros.

Paddy brings a unique ability to transform complex data into actionable insights; offering clients exceptional value through his expertise in financial forecasting, comparative analytics, benchmarking, market research and negotiation techniques. His mastery of industry-specific skills is underpinned by a strong academic foundation in Psychological Science, combined with advanced coursework in Data Analytics, Finance, & Accounting.

Paddy’s deep industry knowledge, analytical rigor, and transactional experience have proven invaluable to the HTL team in their continued success in delivering the best possible financial outcomes for clients.

Through both his personal journey and professional achievements, Paddy has consistently exemplified qualities of integrity, reliability, and perseverance – qualities that are at the very core of HTL’s values.
