Ni Hotels Federation Launches Annual Housekeeping Awards

The Northern Ireland Hotels Federation (NIHF) has launched its annual competition to find the best Housekeeping Team in Northern Ireland. The event has been running since 2010 highlighting the important role that housekeeping plays in the success of a hotel business.

Eddie McKeever, President of the NIHF, said: “We are delighted to launch the 13th Housekeeping Awards competition, supported by industry partners Bath Fitter, Bunzl Rafferty Guest Amenities, King Koil, and Linencare, alongside Tourism Northern Ireland. This event has grown significantly since its inception, with increasing interest and hotels making substantial investments in their people.”

“The assessment day, scheduled for January at room2 Belfast Hometel, promises to be an exciting opportunity for housekeepers to showcase their skills and knowledge. We encourage our members to participate in this competition, as it provides a platform for recognition and reward for their dedicated efforts. The awards dinner, set for 28 February, at the La Mon Hotel, Belfast, is our chance to celebrate and showcase the remarkable talent within our industry.”

The competition, divided into four categories based on hotel room capacity, welcomes teams of two to showcase their skills in interactive tasks and team-building exercises. The categories cover under 50 rooms, 50-99 rooms, 100-149 rooms and 150 rooms and over.

All interested teams must attend the assessment day on 24 January at room2 Belfast Hometel, where they will engage in various challenges. The event is free to enter, and participants can specify a preference for their assessment time.

Following the assessment day, a shortlist of top teams will be announced on the NIHF website, and each finalist hotel will receive a visit from a professional housekeeping inspector. The combined scores from the inspector and team assessments will determine the winners.

For teams interested in participating, a short online form is available on the NIHF website (nihf.co.uk) and must be completed by 12 January.

The Awards Dinner, a glittering evening of celebration, will take place on 28 February at the La Mon Hotel.

The Housekeeping Awards are generously supported by Tourism Northern Ireland, Bunzl Rafferty Guest Amenities, Linencare, Bath Fitter, and King Koil Beds.
