PREM Group UK Ovation Awards 2024

On Wednesday, June 19th, our PREM Group UK colleagues gathered for our annual PREM UK Ovation Awards.

The PREM Ovation Awards are an annual celebration of individuals and teams in the group who have gone above and beyond in their roles to ensure that our company performs at its best on all levels – as an employer, a hospitality service provider and a commercial enterprise.

These awards recognize and celebrate excellence across our talented and committed teams that make up our UK division.

Leopold Hotel Sheffield was the venue for a delicious lunch followed by our awards ceremony with Evelyn Haran, PREM Group UK COO, with our CEO, Jim Murphy, presenting awards in the categories of General Manager of the Year, Property of the Year, Leader of the Year, as well as the traditional PREM Ethos Award category.

In addition, every two years, we celebrate Length of Service Awards, which we were thrilled to celebrate with the team for their dedication, hard work and loyalty throughout their career.

This year, we introduced a new award category, ‘Special Achievement Award’, created to acknowledge work undertaken by team members on special projects in addition to their normal responsibilities.

With so many examples of wonderful people who go above and beyond on a regular basis to look after colleagues and guests alike, tough decisions had to be made.
