Cork Branch Irish Hotels Federation

Another super proud moment for Cork—John Hartnett's creativity has truly transformed the digital presence of both The Kingsley and Fota Island Resort. His innovative approach to digital marketing has not only captivated audiences but also significantly boosted the brand's visibility and success. John’s exceptional talent and forward-thinking strategies undoubtedly make him a deserving candidate for this award, and a true asset to the hospitality industry in Cork. Congratulations John.

We are absolutely thrilled for Fergal Harte who truly deserves to win the General Manager of the Year award, as his exceptional leadership, dedication, and unwavering commitment to excellence have consistently elevated The Kingsley Hotel to new heights, creating an outstanding experience for both guests and staff. Congratulation Fergal.

Congratulations to all the Winners at the Cork Convention Bureau Ambassador Awards, held in IHF Cork member The Kingsley hotel.
