ROCKLIFFE Hall’s Head Concierge has won the title of Concierge of the Year at the Hotel Cateys 2016 Awards.
Anton Coburn was the only concierge outside of London to be shortlisted for this top accolade and attended a glittering ceremony at London’s Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel, where he was announced as the winner.
Mr Coburn, from Darlington, was a transport manager before being made redundant about eight years ago but soon started working at Rockliffe Hall.
He is one of the longest-standing members of staff at the award-winning five red star hotel and said: “I’m absolutely delighted to have won this award.
“The Hotel Cateys are well respected in the industry and to beat off stiff competition from some top London hotels makes me very proud.”
The Cateys are an independent awards scheme.
