Searcys’, the collection of restaurants, bars and venues, honoured staff across its portfolio at the inaugural Searcys’ Awards held at Inner Temple, London last night. The event marked the outstanding achievements of Searcys’ employees, and highlighted the dedication, care and compassion that they show every day in the workplace.
Searcys’ employees and staff from Searcys’ venue portfolio submitted the nominations for the seven ‘Searcys’ Values Awards’. From a shortlist of three per category the Executive team picked the eventual winners.
Richard Callaghan, head of HR at Searcys’, said: “Searcys’ is proud to recognise the contribution that our staff make to our organisation and the impact they have on delivering the highest quality hospitality and catering to our clients and their guests.
“Quality, innovation and service are at the heart of our ethos and offering and last night’s winners lead the way when it comes to maintaining those across our work.
