We’re proud to announce that six members of the HOST team have been nominated in this year’s HPC Excellence Awards. The awards celebrate 13 top performers across three themes; Project Delivery; Supply Chain and People and Behaviours.
The HOST team members have been nominated under the People and Behaviour theme in the categories Outstanding Individual Performance, Outstanding Leader and Rising Star.
Gina McGuckin, Finance Officer for Payroll, and Jay Owens, member of the Commercial Team, have been nominated in the Outstanding Individual Performance category that celebrates individuals working on the project who have shown strong engagement and a continuous commitment. Gina has demonstrated this through actively looking for innovative ways to improve HOST’s performance, including identifying a new payroll system, to enhance the end-user experience. Jay has been nominated for his constant hard work and professional approach, that also led him to identify areas in the business where cost savings could be made.
Three of our team members have been nominated for the Outstanding Leader award, that recognises a manager or supervisor who continues to inspire their team and encourages them to deliver the best results, including Karis Holleron, Front Office Manager, Hilde Stuiver, General Manager and Colin Weeks, Management Accountant. Karis has successfully coached her team to work together seamlessly to deliver excellent guest service while Hilde has demonstrated her natural ability to empower those around her, constantly uplifting the morale of the team. Colin has built a reputation as a trustworthy member of the team, who everyone feels comfortable talking to, his passion rubs off onto all his teammates, which also makes him a worthy candidate for this award.
And finally, Zoe Davis, General Administrator for HR, has been nominated, in the Rising Star category that recognises a particular apprentice, trainee, graduate or intern working on the project who has made a significant contribution to their team. Zoe has shown this through her dedication to implementing a number of initiatives to support the team with their mental and physical wellbeing and her positive approach to delivering the HOST values.
Mark Flinton, Campus Operations Director, said: “At HOST, we pride ourselves on our training programme that ensures all of our team feel confident in the fact that they have the necessary skills needed to perform to the best of their ability. Recognition for the team at these awards is testament to our passion for lifelong learning and demonstrates our team’s continuous hard work and dedication to providing a five-start guest experience.”
