Nadia Fakhredin – Operations Manager, Holiday Inn Coventry

I began my career in Holiday Inn 16 years ago part time whilst I was in full time education at college and university, during this time I had the opportunity to work in all of the departments from Food and Beverage to Sales.  This was great for me as it gave me the flexibility that I needed to study.  It was during this time that I really fell in love with hospitality and decided I wanted to make it a career.  I have been on development programmes with the company and have always had support from all of the line managers I have worked for.  This industry has allowed me to work all over the country to gain as much experience as possible, which has all helped me to get to where I am now as Operations Manager.  I am looking forward to the continued development and to progress in my career even further with the company.
