Mr Toad’s and Neuvo, part of the Emirates Leisure Retail portfolio, are toasting the rise of female leaders in hospitality this International Women’s Day, with women now making up more than half of the senior team.
The much-loved destinations – found at Premier Inn hotels across the UAE – continue to go from strength to strength as the go-to dining and entertainment spots among hotel guests, tourists and local residents. Between them, they serve more than 700,000 meals to over a million customers a year.
Hailing from Kenya, Uganda and the Philippines, Mr Toad’s and Neuvo’s female forces, including Outlet Managers, Supervisors and Team Leaders, are aged between 26 and 40. Among them are working mothers and women who undertake voluntary work for good causes in their spare time.
Rian Potgieter, Operations Manager, Mr Toad’s and Nuevo said: “Our talented, friendly, dedicated management team is now dominated by females, underpinning the skills, experience and brilliant customer service that they bring to our business.
“All of our leading ladies have got where they are today through hard work, determination and commitment and, in line with our policy of continued team member development, have been promoted from within. We are proud to recognise their excellent work this International Women’s Day – and always – and are confident that they, and other women among our team, will take on even more senior roles with our company this year and beyond.
Mr Toad’s and Neuvo have 11 outlets across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
