McKeever Hotel Group, the Antrim-based hospitality business, which owns and operates five hotels across Northern Ireland and Donegal has made two key appointments to support its growth strategy.
Elaine Harkin has been appointed to the newly created role of group revenue manager and is responsible for reviewing and managing all business functions across the five McKeever Hotels, ensuring that they are operating in line with the group’s future focused strategy.
Harkin has over 20 years of hospitality experience, starting with a family bar and restaurant in Spain.
After returning home in 2008, she held various roles in hotels across the Island of Ireland, including the Inishowen Gateway Hotel, The Merchant Hotel, Belfast and the AC Marriott Hotel where she was the revenue manager.
Prior to joining the McKeever Hotel Group, Harkin worked as a general manager at the Holiday Inn Express.
Meanwhile, Iris Houston has been appointed as general manager of the Adair Arms Hotel.
Houston has to look after the day to day running of the Adair Arms Hotel in Ballymena, which was bought by the McKeever Hotel Group in 2010. She will also oversee operations across all departments and lead its 45-strong team to deliver on the group’s ‘We Do More’ culture.
Houston has worked at the Adair Arms for nearly 20 years, starting as a function waitress in the mid-90s, working her way up to deputy general manager in 2011, and eventually to her current position of general manager.
