I started working at the 40 bed hotel as a receptionist in November 2009, in under one year, I was promoted to hotel General Manager. I worked very hard to get to this position, and began to overlook all aspects of the hotel, including, front desk, housekeeping, health + safety, sales, and customer service. I was responsible for the entire hotel and all the team that were employed there. I drove myself and my team with our impeccable customer service as I believe the main focus of a guest experience is made by this. I was also involved in auditing other hotels within our company, which means me travelling around the country and coaching other hotel managers on best practices. My biggest achievements to date at the hotel, are becoming general manager, gaining a 99% pass in recent health and safety audits, and passing the annual brand audit, with the highest score within the franchise of hotels (15 hotels)Job Roles:The auditing of other hotels in the company to ensure a consistent level of service throughout the chain, people management and holding ‘difficult conversations' with non performing employees, responsible for sales and marketing , finances, people management, controlling profit and loss lines, managing and achieving the weekly sales targets, training of new and existing employees using training workshops, stock control, customer service training, attend management meetings, working on the reception desk, and also helping out with different departments when required. I am not afraid to get stuck in from cleaning to reception.
