Jack Work has been appointed Hotel Manager at the Mercure Hotel Nadi
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. Accor’s Regional General Manager for Fiji Lee Pearce said, “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. “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.
