It may have been a tough two years for the hospitality industry but one local manager shone through - which is why she recently received a huge accolade.
Emer Corridan from Cahernane House won the General Manager of the Year award for 2021/22.
Close to one hundred team members from the Irish division of Prem Group gathered in the beautiful Osprey Hotel & Spa, Naas for a very special lunch.
In addition, the Accommodation Team at Cahernane won an award in Teams of the Year, Darren Looney, Trainee Manager received a Leader of the Year award and the hotel also took home a recognition award for their customer service.
The Irish awards event saw 27 of the PREM colleagues recognised in an individual capacity in the Ethos, Leadership and General Manager of the Year categories.
Emer has been working at Cahernane House Hotel since 2016 ensuring each guest has a relaxing and memorable stay as well as leading her team to a four star standard and beyond.
Jim Murphy, CEO, and Paul Dempsey, COO presented awards in the categories of General Manager of the Year, Property of the Year, Leader of the Year, as well as the traditional PREM Ethos Award category. In addition, team members with service length above five years were recognised for their commitment to the company.
"I was absolutely honoured to receive the General Manager of the Year award from my colleagues at PREM Group for 2021/22," Emer told the Killarney Advertiser.
"PREM are fantastic to work for and treat all their staff with the utmost respect. I work with some other amazing General Managers who have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic – so to be chosen from this fantastic group makes me very proud. I also want to thank the team at the Cahernane who are so supportive of me and always give their best in everything they do."
