Jack Work has been appointed as Hotel
Manager of the Mercure Nadi in Fiji. He is Accor’s first Fiji-born
Hotel Manager.
Mr Work, who hails from the
Kulukulu Village of Nadroga, Sigatoka, has enjoyed a successful
career with Accor since 2005, when he first joined the group as a
Duty Manager in the opening team for the Sofitel Resort and Spa on
Denarau Island.
He was later promoted to the
position of Assistant Front Office Manager and then Front Office
Manager at the Sofitel. Following his extensive training and
experience with Accor’s flagship Sofitel resort, Mr Work was
promoted to Executive Assistant Manager at Accor’s Novotel Nadi in
2010.
“Jack is a great example of our policy of ‘growing
our own’, developing our local staff to management positions. Jack
is renowned for his professionalism and ability to relate to
guests, staff and our local partners. He has been a real asset to
the company and will be an excellent role model for other Fijians
to excel in the tourism and hospitality industries,” said Accor’s
Regional General Manager for Fiji, Lee Pearce. “This is the beginning of what we hope is a long and
successful journey for Jack as a hotel General Manager at Accor,
with future opportunities that potentially extend across the
broader network in Asia Pacific.”
Accor operates four hotels
in Fiji – Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa, Novotel Nadi, Mercure Nadi
and Novotel Suva – and employs nearly 1000 people.
