Sinéad’s rise the “fastest in history of Gleneagle Group”
T
The Brehon in Killarney has appointed a new General Manager. Sinéad McCarthy, a native of Drimoleague in West Cork, joined the team at The Brehon in 2014 and had since progressed through the ranks as Food and Beverage Manager, Operations Manager and Interim General Manager before being promoted to the senior role of General Manager earlier this month.
“Sinéad has a natural flair for hospitality, this combined with her drive, diligence and dedication to her work has resulted in her progressing though the ranks faster than any manager in the history of The Gleneagle Group,” said Patrick O’Donoghue, CEO of The Gleneagle Group. “We wish her well in her new role.”
Sinéad studied hospitality management in CIT and GMIT and more recently, received a Higher Diploma in Human Resources from University College Cork. Prior to joining the team at The Brehon, she worked at Carton House Resort and Spa and also at Dublin’s Gibson Hotel.
In 2016, she was awarded Hospitality Manager of the Year in the food and beverage category from the Irish Hospitality Institute. The panel of judges commended her hard work, leadership skills and her ability to implement strategies to achieve revenue growth. She is a member of SKAL Kerry and is also an advisor to the Killarney Tidy Towns Committee on green hospitality.
“I am honoured to have been promoted to the role of General Manager, The Brehon is a truly unique hotel where the emphasis is on delivering exceptional customer service in exceptional surroundings,” she said. “I love working in the hospitality industry and have learnt a great deal in my various roles. I look forward to working with the team to deliver the best in class experiences that our customers expect.”
