The Deltic Group has recognised the efforts of its staff with awards for the general managers, deputy managers and sales manager working at its clubs and bars.
Across 21 categories, winners included Mike Gillman, general manager of Cameo in Eastbourne, East Sussex, who was named overall general manager of the year.
Jessica Clarke from Pryzm in Bristol won overall deputy manager of the year, and Charlotte Hodkin, also of Pryzm in Bristol, was named overall sales manager of the year.
The Graham Peel Award, established in memory of a former employee to recognise those that display outstanding energy, enthusiasm and entrepreneurial flair, went to Colin Goodwin, general manager of Evoke in Chelmsford, Essex.
James Doran, the company’s head of property, was presented with the Special Contribution Award in recognition of his outstanding achievements over the past 12 months.
Chief executive Peter Marks, who hosted the awards, said: “People are the heart of our business and without them we cannot deliver on our promise to our customers to deliver a great night out. This is one of the most important parts and indeed, my favourite part of leading the business: being able to celebrate the hard work of our talented people.”
With 58 venues nationwide, The Deltic Group is the UK’s largest clubs and bar operator, directly employing more than 3,000 people, many of whom are under the age of 25.
Last month, the company announced a record earnings (EBITDA) growth of 16.8% to £13.4m, up 16% from £3.7m in 2015, representing the fourth year of consecutive growth for the business.
The Deltic Group Awards took place at Crowne Plaza Hotel at Heythrop Park in Oxfordshire after the company’s annual conference.
