Hostec has once again joined the numerous hotels and hoteliers around Australasia this past Friday evening in attendance of the HM Awards 2009, recognising the outstanding performance and contribution that individuals have made to the hospitality industry. Our CEO, Ian Wilson, along with Andrew Morley, Angus Muffet, Jessica Rowley, Tina Sofroniou, and 12 of our academy students made their presence felt on the night as representatives of Hostec.
Competition was fierce on the night with a total of 40 awards to be handed out to the ‘bests of the bests’ of this year.  Our very own Mr. Morley was up on stage presenting the Human Resources Department Member of the Year, sponsored by Hostec, to Jayne Webb of the Brisbane Marriott in Queensland. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Crowne Plaza of IHG for winning the Hotel Brand of the Year, Mirvac Hotels & Resorts for Accommodation Chain of the Year, and last but not least Mr. Simon McGrath of Accor Hospitality for the HM Magazine ‘Hotelier of the Year’.
We would also like to say a big thanks to our Academy students and compliment them on the fantastic job they have done on Friday night. Dressed to kill in outfits supplied by leading design house ‘Farage’ for the guys and ‘Fluerwood’ for the gals and with their hair dressed by Venus Hairdressing College, they were on hand to assist with cocktail service, and provided guidance to award recipients leading them onto the stage and to the photo area after. Well done to all!!
In addition, a special thanks to Jessica and Tina of the Academy for their weeks of planning and organising to make the night a very special one for our students.
