Northern Ireland’s leading food service and business support solutions company, The Mount Charles Group, has won two awards at the 2015 Janus Awards.

Run by the Institute of Hospitality NI, the Janus Awards celebrate companies that exemplify excellence in their field and who have made an outstanding contribution to the Northern Ireland hospitality and tourism industry.

After being judged by an independent judging panel from the business sector, Adrian Dallas, Neil Hanna and Gavin Annon from The Mount Charles Group won the ‘Hospitality Management Team of the Year’ award, in large part for the introduction of several new innovative brands at the University of Ulster.

Stuart Mulvaney, whose role includes the development of the Fed & Watered retail bistro brand at City of Derry Airport, Belfast International Airport, Exeter Airport and the Obel Tower in Belfast, won Business Development Manager of the Year.

Furthermore, Janice Stewart and John Weir from Mount Charles Group were shortlisted in the ‘Conference and Banqueting Operations Manager of the Year’ and ‘Bar Manager of the Year’ categories for their respective work at Mossley Hill, Newtownabbey and at the home of Ulster Rugby, the Kingspan Stadium.

Managing Director of the Mount Charles Group Cathal Geoghegan said: “We are delighted to have performed so strongly at the 2015 Janus Awards and to see our hard working employees gain recognition for a job well done.

“It’s a great honour to receive these accolades, particularly as the overall standard of the tourism and hospitality offering in Northern Ireland has never been better. Our business has evolved and grown significantly in the past few years, and these awards are testament to the fact that our commitment to home grown hospitality and customer service has never wavered,” he added.
