LIVERPOOL’S new Radisson RED hotel has annoucned the recruitment of its new food and beverage manager.
Sean Callaghan has more than 15 years’ experience in hospitality, developing a passion for locally sourced produce along the way.
Sean’s appointment is part of Radisson Hotel Group’s new hiring campaign to attract talent to join its team of “Moment Makers”. The campaign highlights the importance of turning everyday experiences into unforgettable moments as well as promoting the wider career development opportunities across the Group.
As part of the drive, Radisson RED Liverpool will host a speed dating-style recruitment day at the Empire Theatre on 9 August, involving games, cocktails and a drag queen DJ set to create a social environment similar to the hotel, attracting likeminded, vibrant people.
The brand’s arrival in the city will take the Grade-II listed building full circle, after it was originally created as the North Western Hotel back in 1871.
The hotel’s restaurant, Stoke, which is scheduled to open in the autumn at the same time as Radisson RED, will be a modern, BBQ-style eatery.
Sean said: “I’m very proud to be leading the food and beverage team at Radisson RED in Liverpool. I’m looking forward to overseeing that team to help create lasting memories and unforgettable moments for our guests.
“I’ve spent the last ten years as a manager where I’d describe my management style as fun and involved; a happy team equals happy guests. I’m a firm believer in the idea that people work with me and not for me and I’m looking forward to taking the time to get to know the different personalities of the team so that they shine through in our service. »
Located next to Lime Street station, Radisson RED – which involves an investment in excess of £30m – includes renovations stretching across the entire 10-storey building, creating 201 bedrooms and five meeting rooms.
Gary Waring, general manager of the hotel, said: “Sean instantly stood out to us as it was clear our values aligned; he is very enthusiastic about using good, local produce and helping to create a team that is vibrant and energetic to provide an impeccable service for our guests.
