In the modern business world, "a job for life" is most certainly a thing of the past, which is why i believe that exceptional length of service is a real badge of honour.
I was delighted to set up a little suprise celebration for our Night Manager - Ian Gallanders this morning, to recognise the 25th anniversary of the day that he joined Marriott Hotels.
A whole quarter century ago today, Ian joined our Swansea hotel as a Conference & Banqueting Porter from where he move on and up the ranks, taking in the Security department and then into rooms division, before coming here to the Highcliff as Night Manager some 12 years ago.
Congratulations Ian - an awesome thing to celebrate and I hope that you make the most of the truly fantastic benfts of being a member of Marriott's very exclusive and very special Quarter Century Club!
