RBH appoints operations manager to Holiday Inn Blackpool

RBH Hospitality Management has appointed Paul Powell as operations manager of the Holiday Inn Blackpool hotel ahead of its opening in Spring. Responsible for the operational management of the 144-bedroom hotel – which includes a Marco’s New York Italian restaurant – Powell will support general manager, Mark Winter, to ensure the successful launch and running of the new destination this year. With over 20 years of experience in the industry, he makes the “perfect addition” to the growing team at Holiday Inn Blackpool. Both Powell and Winter are currently focussed on the hotel’s ‘Be More You’ campaign to help fulfil over 70 coveted positions at the hotel, with visits to local job platform centres to spread awareness amongst potential applicants from the area. 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. On behalf of his appointment, Powell said: "I was born here in Blackpool and it’s where my passion for hospitality began, so this new role couldn’t be a better fit. Having spent over 20 years in the industry, I’m looking forward to bringing my expertise to ensure the success of the Holiday Inn Blackpool with the support of our growing team. “The hotel and restaurant are both looking fantastic, and we can’t wait to open our doors and deliver exceptional and lasting experiences for our guests in the coming months.” Winter added: “Paul's natural flair and passion for the industry makes him the perfect addition to our growing Holiday Inn Blackpool team and his keen eye for detail as well as his strive for excellence will ensure our hotel is running at its absolute optimum. “Paul’s already been intrinsic in the rollout of our ‘Be More You’ campaign, which aims to attract local talented people who can express their personality within their role. The response so far has been amazing, and we can’t wait to announce more new team members soon, so stay tuned.”
