Success stories

Steve Holmes Chief Engineer
Steve wasn’t actually looking for anything permanent – he wanted a stopgap because the decorating business was slow.

"Within two years of starting I was made Assistant Chief Engineer at one of the hotels – something I had never imagined. In one more year I was Chief Engineer. That’s the real truth of this company - they believed in me. Now, after ten years, I’m Chief Engineer at the group’s biggest property."

Emily Frost CRM Manager
Emily decided to take a year out to go travelling – she did travel, but not as she’d intended.

"When I decided to take a year out, Radisson Edwardian asked me if I’d like to cover for the Sales Director for Australasia whilst she was on maternity leave.

There followed a hectic five months of training, then three weeks’ handover in Melbourne before setting up a sales office in Sydney. I travelled all over Australia and New Zealand meeting agents. On my return I was offered another fantastic opportunity in the Marketing department. I am now in charge of CRM initiatives."

Linda Plant Director of Marketing
Linda’s first position was in Front Office, which she found liberating when compared with other hotel companies she had worked for who were bureaucratic.

"That was 15 years ago. Since then I have held a number of key positions including Leisure Sales Director and now Director of Marketing. I have also been given the opportunity to develop and learn from gaining my Marketing diploma to attending the University of Oxford's Templeton Business School."
