Hospitality Hero - Paul Beehan, Newpark Hotel Kilkenny 👏 Congratulations to General Manager at Kilkenny’s award winning family Newpark Hotel, Paul Beehan, who is the latest recipient of a Hospitality Hero award by Iconic Newspapers Hospitality Award and the Kilkenny People. 🛎 The Hospitality Heroes series is an initiative where Iconic Newspapers recognise those who are heroes in their field and are bouncing back to get the hospitality industry ready to reopen on June 2nd. 🏨 Originally from the Curragh in Co. Kildare, Paul who resides in Laois and works in Kilkenny, became General Manager of the award winning family Newpark Hotel in January 2019. He wasn’t long in the job when the pandemic hit a year later, but that didn’t stop Paul keeping the Newpark Hotel in the spotlight as a popular Irish holiday destination. 🏞️ On over 40 acres of parkland, offering luxurious accommodation, a Health Club & Spa and fun-filled kids’ activities, this family-friendly hotel is the ideal base for exploring Kilkenny. 🦙 The team at the Newpark did not down tools during the pandemic, instead they kept us all entertained with incredible videos starring the animals from the hotel’s wildlife farm and the staff. The staff (farm animals and humans) went viral with their videos and won €10,000 for charity by winning the Jerusalema nationwide challenge competition. 🦆 The famous Newpark’s Wildlife Farm has benefitted hugely during the lockdowns and over the past few months the grass has grown again and they have beautiful ponds for the geese and the ducks. 🥤 The Friary Trail has also been enhanced and the team have built a massive Friary Village, with extra benches for the kids to have picnics on. 🎙 Paul chatted with Siobhan Donohoe of Iconic Newspapers as the Newpark Hotel prepares to reopen their doors. 👇 Click link below to view full video interview http://bit.ly/Paul_Beehan
