Britain’s Got Talent: Hospitality Awards Celebrate UK’s Finest

The UK’s largest hotel management company, BDL Management, has celebrated some of the hospitality industry’s top talent this February with its annual awards.
 
Feb. 22, 2012 - PRLog -- Hosted at the Ramada Sutton Coldfield, the awards ceremony recognised excellence across the board; from green credentials and revenue raising through to community outreach and outstanding can-do attitudes.

The coveted Hotel of the Year title, which recognises excellence in business and annual audits, went to the Holiday Inn Express Epsom (http://www.hiexepsom.co.uk), while the team of the Ramada Encore Doncaster came top in the Corporate Social Responsibility category.

Richard Ellison, of The Landmark Hotel in Dundee, was awarded General Manager of the Year, receiving high praise for his work within the local community and building an exceptionally strong and loyal team.

The host venue, Ramada Sutton Coldfield in Birmingham, scooped Green Hotel of the Year, beating off stiff competition from The Crowne Plaza Marlow and Ramada Encore Inverness. The team was commended for taking a proactive approach to reducing the energy consumption and increasing community engagement.

Gemma Glover, of The Langstone Hotel in Portsmouth, was awarded Employee of The Year for her work representing the hotel in the community and leading an award-winning event where students took over and ran the hotel. Meanwhile, Aashwin Bali, Food and Beverage Manager of the Holiday Inn Express Epson, took the prize for Revenue Driving Employee of Year.

Commenting on the awards, managing director of BDL Management, Stewart Campbell, said: “In the hospitality industry, a business is only as good as the people it employs. Therefore, it is a true testament to the quality of personnel at BDL Management that we are the country’s largest, and fastest growing, hotel management company.

“As the people on the front line, delivering the quality of service on which our brand is built, we are committed to rewarding and celebrating their individual efforts company-wide. Our annual awards ceremony is one of a number of initiatives we operate to ensure our employees feel valued, motivated and part of our ongoing success.

“This year’s event was our biggest yet and I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our winners, once again, and thank everyone for their continued hard work and support.”

BDL Management is the country’s largest franchisee of Wyndham Hotels Group and operates one of the highest collections of franchised InterContinental Hotel Group properties, being recently selected to manage the launch of the UK’s first Crowne Plaza Resort in September 2011.

Established in 1997 to develop and operate new-build branded hotels, the Glasgow-based company has taken on 11 new properties over the last year and aims to add another 30 to its portfolio by 2014.
