Up
against nine other leading General Managers from around the
country, Bruce Garrett of The George Christchurch wins the
New Zealand General Manager at the Hotel Management (HM)
Awards for Hotel & Accommodation Excellence. Now in its 9th
year this event represents the regions leading awards for
the accommodation industry. Over 800 properties are
nominated and the nominations are open to hotels and staff
at properties across Australia, New Zealand and the South
Pacific.
The HM Awards are hosted and presented by HM - Hotel & Accommodation Management, a leading industry magazine. This year, 48 HM Awards were bestowed to recognise excellence over a range of categories at a ceremony held at the Sydney Town Hall on Friday 2 September 2011.
