Three members of staff who have each given more than 30 years’ service to the DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol City Centre have been recognised for their commitment.
Tracey Walter, Rebecca Harris, and Christopher Odey each surpassed 30 years of service recently. Additionally 10 members of the DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol City Centre team have, between them, more than 200 years of experience there.
Senior directors from Focus Hotels, which manages DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol City Centre visited the trio to mark their milestone and thank them for more than three decades of hard work.
DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol City Centre features 206 bedrooms and 17 meeting rooms, with a total capacity of over 500.
The hotel is now looking to achieve net zero alignment within the next 10 years by
working closely with the owners – with careful investment through a combination of BMS upgrades, metering, performance monitoring, heat pump upgrades, hot water degasification and solar panel installation.
Devin Grosse, CEO of Focus Hotels, said: “We are proud to have operated DoubleTree by Hilton Bristol City Centre for over ten years and during this decade, we have demonstrated a commitment to addressing environmental and social issues, as well as embracing sustainable business practices.
“We are particularly proud of the hotel’s team, who are at the heart of everything that matters. People rarely spend thirty years or more in a profession they are not passionate about. They are equally passionate about their local environment and have already made a significant impact towards fulfilling this year’s social care promises. In fact, the team has an active ‘care’ committee (Creating a Rewarding Experience).”
Grosse added: “…The hospitality sector has a large, quite transient, workforce, so when you learn that ten staff members have more than 200 years of service between them, you know that the hotel, as an employer, must be doing something right.
“And if the team is happy and motivated, then that reflects on the service they provide to our guests, and that is what is at the heart of the DoubleTree’s success. Here’s to the next fifty years.”
