Holiday Inn Express Bridgwater has appointed two new senior team members to the 138-room property.
Eresh Shrestha and Caroline Mullan will join recently appointed general manager, Barnaby Kean at the hotel which is due to open its doors in the coming months.
Shrestha will take up the position of deputy general manager whilst Mullan steps into the role of director of sales. Together with GM Barnaby, they will lead the team at the hotel, which will be run by the UK’s independent hotel management company, RBH.
Shrestha studied in Nepal before moving to Cardiff to complete his masters degree. He most recently held the role of guest relations manager for Holiday Inn London – Regents Park.
Mullan, who was previously a youth worker before moving into the hotel industry, most recently worked as sales manager at Taunton’s Castle Hotel.
Shrestha said: “I am looking forward to supporting Barnaby with leading the team on this exciting new venture.The hotel is really starting to take shape and we can’t wait to welcome our first guests when the hotel opens in the spring.”
Mullan added: “I am delighted to join the team at Holiday Inn Express Bridgwater, particularly at such an exciting stage in the pre-opening phase. Not only is the hotel itself coming together, but our team is too. They’re getting geared up to deliver first class service to each and every guest who walks through the doors when we open.”
Holiday Inn Express Bridgwater is set to be the biggest hotel in the area, located in the Regional Rural Business Centre on the outskirts of the Somerset town.
