Sam Panetta, Hotel Manager at Sofitel Wentworth Sydney took out the Property Manager (50 rooms or more) Award. Sam’s 15 years of industry experience working across several departments within various hotels, stood him in excellent steed to take home the award and he received a rousing applause upon accepting the award. Simon Harrison, Executive Chef at Novotel Sydney Olympic Park proudly took out Department Manager of the Year with his commitment to building relationships with staff and customers alike factoring into the decision. This year, nominations for awards took the form of short online videos which were played at the ceremony. Speaking at the ceremony, Accommodation Association of Australia’s Chief Executive Officer, Richard Munro, said “The awards showcased a selection of the high calibre of people who are leaders and who work in our industry. “The video submissions provided a personalised view of the nominees in their actual work environment and did a fine job of translating the merit of each of them, as well as showing how meaningful careers can be forged in our industry”. |
