Liz works at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow Scotland

Some work and some play!

Following on from a stint at the Winter Olympics in Sochi earlier in 2014, Liz recently spent 3 1/2 weeks in Glasgow working for the iLuka / SSE hospitality programme. Based at the Hilton Garden Inn as Hotel and Rooming Manager she was responsible for coordination with the hotel on the 70 guest rooms used during the Commonwealth Games programme ensuring all rooms were ready for the arriving 140 guests daily. She managed to get to see a couple of events including the Rugby 7′s finals (a nail biting match between South Africa and NZ which SA convincingly won!) and the netball finals between New Zealand and Australia. Even though this assignment is not typical of the L&A Housekeeping area, all the elements for the role of Hotel and Rooming Manager are part of Liz’s skill set and it is great to be part of these exciting games.
