Ela Kadlubowska, Front Office Manager at HOST’s Hinkley Campus was recognised as a ‘People Leader’ at the HPC Excellence Awards 2019, held at Somerset’s County Cricket Ground on 27th November 2019.

Having been shortlisted just weeks earlier, Ela had been thrilled to have been recognised from the many nominations, saying that it was “completely unexpected.” So scooping Silver on the big night came as a real shock. “My team are fantastic” she said “and that makes leading them so much easier.”

Campus Operations Director, Mark Flinton said ‘Ela has been working as part of the HOST team for eighteen months and in this time has proved a passionate individual, committed to delivering excellent results. Her analytical eye identifies trends in the business, and she is not afraid to make decisions or take on challenges.’

‘Ela has always proved a great leader, accessible and available to those who need her and always there to lend a helping hand or give a listening ear’ added Hilde Stuiver, General Manager Designate. “With 500 guests on campus most evenings the reception team are always busy, but also friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. This attitude is only ever achieved when a team has a great leader.”

This is another fantastic achievement for HOST who also scooped the Bronze award in the Chain Supply category.
