With plans well underway for the opening of the Holiday Inn Blackpool in Spring this year, the hotel has officially launched its ‘BeMoreYou’ campaign today to fulfil over 70 positions.
Covering everything from managerial positions to front-of-house and housekeeping staff, the campaign aims to attract talented, local individuals who can express their personalities within their role.
To support the campaign, the Holiday Inn Blackpool has launched a bespoke recruitment website, listing the live opportunities on offer as well as roles that will open in the coming weeks at both the Holiday Inn Blackpool & Marco’s New York Italian restaurant.
Mark Winter, general manager of the Holiday Inn Blackpool and Paul Powell, who was recently appointed as operations manager, are helping the recruitment drive get underway with visits to local job platform centres to spread awareness amongst potential applicants from the area.
Winter said: “We’ve been overwhelmed with the response to our rigorous recruitment campaign so far and the official launch of our ‘Be More You’ campaign today will help spark the next wave of applicants for our amazing new hotel and restaurant.
“Our focus is to create an exciting, talented team who can truly be themselves while having fun along the way in what could be the start of a life-long, successful career in the industry for our applicants. Hospitality is such a varied and exciting industry where no day is ever the same and we can promise that here at the Holiday Inn Blackpool.”
The Holiday Inn Blackpool, managed by RBH Hospitality Management, is council owned and is part of the city’s wider regeneration project, Talbot Gateway. The development is placed off the side of the train station, offering a central hub for both business and leisure guests arriving in Blackpool.
Winter concluded: “We’ve been helping spread the word about the campaign in the local community with visits to Blackpool and The Fylde College, The Platform and The Place for Skills and Work to speak firsthand to potential applicants and let them know how to get involved.
“The recruitment process is simple thanks to our website, where people can easily apply for positions that meet their skills and experience. If you feel as though you can ‘BeMoreYou’ in any of our roles on the website, please hit apply today.”
