Two managers at Haverhill's Days Inn hotel have just completed advanced apprenticeships.

Guest service managers Simon Bolton and Rachael Thorne were celebrating this week as they received their certificates from Otley College after completing their Advanced Apprenticeships in Management.

As part of the apprenticeship, both Simon and Rachael attained an NVQ Level 3 in Management and a BTEC Level 3 in Introducing Management.

Days Inn Haverhill is proud to support its staff in all their training needs, from Days Inn brand training programmes to college courses such as NVQ and BTEC.

The hotel has also been the recipient of the Haverhill Chamber of Commerce employer of the Year award in 2009.

Simon will now be going on to study for an NVQ Level 3 in Sales, and Rachael will be studying for a BTEC Level 5 in Management

Donna Revell, general manager at Days Inn, said: “The hotel’s management company, Alder Hospitality Management and the owner have always been committed to ensuring the team receives a high level of training.

This ensures the team has a strong sense of empowerment, high team morale and excellent customer service.

"When we won Employer of The Year the judges said: 'This business showed a commitment to staff training, development and retention over and above the norm in the industry. It demonstrated good team spirit and provides continued support to help recognise staff potential and train for promotion.'”
