Longueville Manor celebrates prestigious Cateys recognition as Independent Hotel of the Year finalist
Longueville Manor owners Malcolm and Patricia Lewis are celebrating after last night?s Caterer and Hotelkeeper Awards in London revealed they had been short listed for the prestigious Independent Hotel of the Year Catey. To be short listed in this category is testament to the fact that Longueville Manor is competing successfully alongside some of the country?s most respected hotels.
The Independent Hotel of the Year category is for any independent business of three units or fewer, wholly owned and operated by its owner. It will be a successful business of any size, category or market level, show excellence in its chosen market and offers an example to which others can aspire, being able to demonstrate particular achievements in the past year.
?To be short listed for a Catey is a fantastic achievement for us and is particularly meaningful because the awards are nominated, selected and rewarded by our industry peers?, says Malcolm Lewis. ?Last night the hard work and dedication of all Longueville Manor staff was recognised on a national level and we are really proud to have made it onto the shortlist.?
This year?s ceremony marks a milestone for the Caterer and Hotelkeeper Awards as they celebrate 25 years of recognising and applauding the best of British hospitality.
