This News article was posted on 27 Oct 2011 .

World Class Service would like to extend its congratulations to the Lowry Hotel’s Elaine Bowers, who picked up The Ambassadors Award at this year’s Springboard Awards for Excellence on Monday. The accolade, which celebrates individuals who champion careers within the hospitality industry – was presented as part of the annual ceremony held at the Park Plaza in London.

Elaine Bowers, who has been Room Service Manager at the Lowry Hotel since 2007 was rewarded for her dedication and commitment to advocacy of the sector. Elaine has been involved with numerous initiatives during her time at the Lowry, working with potential future employees to support career progression. She has also overseen the Lowry Hotel’s current team of Hotel Ambassadors, encouraging this work still further.

Alison McCallum, Director of HR and Training at the Lowry Hotel said, “Through Elaine's hard work, she has made a significant impact and has been successful in assisting the change of young people’s perceptions towards having a career in hospitality. We are very proud of her achievement.”

The Team at World Class Service would also like to thank Elaine – and all of the City’s Hotel Ambassadors - for the hard work they do to promote the industry – and we are proud to play our part in making each hotel a truly inspirational place for the future workers in the Hospitality sector.

World Class Service works with organisations across the UK and Ireland to help them deliver excellence. But the past year has seen significant developments closer to home, which will shape the way we do business with all our clients.

2011 was a good year to be in business in Manchester. It was a year where the eyes of the nation have been on the City- or rather the Cities – as this has been in no small part down to the developments in Salford. There are now upwards of 2,000 BBC staff based at MediaCity UK, as well as the massive volumes of freelance staff that the studio operation is employing directly. The creation of this technological Goliath has placed Salford at the forefront of the media industry, and this has already led to announcements of further investment in the area, from the likes of SIS and ITV.

Another year behind us and it's safe to say that there were some challenges but, as ever, it's not the end of the world. Cuts, job losses and austerity measures all combine to make us all nervous with our spending but the likes of John Lewis saw sales rise by 6.2% in the last five weeks of 2011.

In any recession around the world, it is always the case that winners can be found. We don't mean the greedy fat cats. You can win in a financial downturn if the product you provide is reliably excellent.

When people have less disposable income, they still want to treat themselves and they still want to enjoy their lives. They just take fewer risks and look to spend where they know that their experience will be worth the money.
