It will be an exciting year for Madeline Wright and for Cork hotels, as she is about to embark on a 12 month journey as an ambassador for the hotels in Cork, as winner of the inaugural Employee of the Year award.

Described as the "perfect ambassador for our industry" by the Chairman of the Cork branch of the Irish Hotels Federation, Madeline is hotel receptionist at the Blue Haven Hotel in Kinsale and she was chosen as the winner from a short list of three candidates.

Organised by the Cork branch of the Irish Hotels Federation (IHF), the 72 member hotels and guesthouses in Cork were encouraged to put forward their nominations for the inaugural hotels sector Employee of the Year award.

The award has been established to shine a light on the contribution individual employees make to Cork’s hotel and guesthouse sector.

“Madeline is a great choice as winner of our first Employee of the Year award,” Michael Magner said.

“Her professionalism, her desire to look after everyone who she meets while at work, her charm and friendliness, make her the perfect ambassador for us and over the next 12 months.

“We want to highlight that our industry is alive and well and in recovery and we know Madeline will help spread the word while also delivering the message that the hospitality sector is a great place to work.
