Colleen is Meeting & Events Co-ordinator for Galway Bay Hotel. Thankfully, Meeting & Events across our hotels plays a big part in our business mix. The ability to understand every customer’s individual needs, the communication of this detail to the hotel operations teams and the delivery of the service to the customer makes for a very busy role for Colleen. The skills required for this role are many, and we look forward to supporting Colleen and her colleagues through the Hodson Bay Management Development Programme.

To maintain a top 3 position on Tripadvisor requires great attention to detail and great team members. Catherine and Lisa will guarantee you a very warm welcome on arrival for sure, but behind the scenes, there are many other aspects to the Front Office function. Development and progression is very important to both Catherine and Lisa and the investment in the Management Development programme will not only ensure the continued exceptional service expected across our hotels, but it also allows our team members to plan their careers with us.
