The Sefton Hotel has strengthened its leadership team with the appointment of David Codinha as Deputy General Manager.
David has more than 13 years of hospitality industry experience gained across Europe, and joined the Sefton Group six years ago. Initially he began work with the company in its sister property, the Best Western Palace Hotel, in its popular Paragon restaurant, being promoted to restaurant supervisor and then hotel function supervisor.
From there he earned another promotion, moving to the Sefton Hotel to oversee its renowned Sir Norman’s Bar and becoming a Junior Operations Manager, before transferring back to the Palace in a more senior role, and now on to his new role where he supports The Sefton’s General Manager, Allen Jackson, in the daily running of the 4* property.
David began his career in the hospitality industry in 2003 in Portugal when he joined P&O Ferries, travelling across Europe with the company and getting experience of working in restaurants catering for up to 500 people at any one time. He initially moved to the Isle of Man to work for the Steam Packet Company.
Commenting on his appointment, David said: “The conference, banqueting and hotel industry is a very fast-paced and challenging one, and the opportunity presented by my new role at The Sefton where we have so many functions to cater for and guests to look after is very exciting.
“I am very passionate about improving our customer experience and ensuring that our guests not only have a fantastic time with us, but also that they get to experience everything that the Isle of Man has to offer them. It is a fantastic place to live and offers an exceptional quality of life, and it’s important that people get to see this.”
Allen Jackson, Sefton Hotel General Manager, added: “I am delighted to welcome David to my leadership team and capitalise on his broad experience. The Sefton is the Island’s leading luxury hotel and delivers so many different events every year, where his support and knowledge is already proving invaluable. His appointment is also another excellent example of how the Sefton Group is able to offer a long-term career opportunity and progression to individuals wishing to work in the Island’s leisure and hospitality sector."
