Orla Bids for Gold

Sligo Park Hotel Wedding Co-ordinator Orla Seery has been nominated as a national finalist in the Front of House Team Member category at the 2024 Virgin Media Business Gold Medal Hotel Awards.

Orla is one of 16 shortlisted entries from the top hotels in Ireland, with the winner set to be announced at a ceremony at the Galmont Hotel and Spa in Galway on Tuesday, January 28. 

The judging panel said to have recognised Orla’s “exceptional talent, dedication and commitment to excellence in the field of hospitality”.

A native of Aclare in south Sligo, Orla earned her undergraduate degree in Business Studies from the then GMIT in 2004 before going on to work in sales and marketing in the hospitality industry and regional radio where she focused on advertising sales. 

With a 20-year background in corporate and conference events, Orla took over the running of weddings and events at the Sligo Park Hotel almost four years ago.
