Menesh Modhwadia of New Inventive Pub Company and Darren King of Greene King Pub Partners have been named Area Manager and Business Development Manager of the Year respectively, in the ALMR’s Operations Managers Awards, 2014.
A third Award, Rising Star was made to Matthew Dyson, BDM of Star Pubs and Bars, in recognition of the qualities he has displayed throughout the Awards process and the potential he has shown for future development.
The awards, presented by ALMR’s CEO Kate Nicholls, were announced in front an audience of over 1100 ALMR members, their guests and senior industry executives at the Awards presentation held at the Association’s Christmas Luncheon at Old Billingsgate Market, London.
The two winners impressed the judges with their enthusiasm and passion for the licensed retail sector which, coupled with their wealth of experience and depth of knowledge, proved them to be worthy of the prestigious accolades.
Nick Bish, founder of the ALMR Ops Awards, confirms, “The Operations Managers Awards are not simply a competition, they provide real personal development for the individuals and a boost for the industry as a whole. The finalists have undergone a rigorous judging process, a challenging entry paper, psychometric profiling, field assessment on a routine working day, and lastly the tough questioning from three panels of industry leaders.”
The intensive and rewarding three-day Ops MasterClass, led by Chris Nichols of Ashridge Consulting, was held in November at the Alveston Manor in Stratford-upon-Avon.
