Neil Kedward, owner and CEO of Seren Hotels, has been awarded Master Innholder status by the Worshipful Company of Innholders.
The award is given to those that have demonstrated themselves as “influential and inspirational” leaders within the hotel industry.
Kedward is among just 10 professionals who have received the award this year in recognition of their outstanding contribution to hospitality.
Over the last 12 years he has created and grown the Seren Group which consists of hotels such as the Grove of Narberth and Penmaenuchaf as well as restaurants Beach House and Lan y Môr.
Dan Rose-Bristow FIH MI, chairman of the Master Innholders, said: “To become a Master Innholder, you need to demonstrate great leadership qualities, your reasons for wanting to become a Master Innholder, what you stand for as a hotelier, your involvement in the wider hospitality community in terms of education and charity, and an appreciation of the heritage and traditions of the Worshipful Company of Innholders, who award the honour.
“Our 10 successful applicants this year all demonstrated their passion and drive for our profession and were all committed to becoming an active part of our community. I am extremely proud to welcome all these inspiring individuals to our family, who will become Master Innholders when they receive their award from the Worshipful Company of Innholders in June.”
