Top honours for Quest Apartments’ best and brightest

29 November 2017 – Quest Apartment Hotels recognised its outstanding properties and staff members at the company’s annual gala dinner in Melbourne.

The highly-prized Chairman’s Award was presented to Quest Wodonga Business Development Manager Amy van de Ven, who was selected from a network of staff representing 150 Quest franchises across Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. The Chairman’s Award is a prestigious and highly-esteemed award, with many previous recipients having progressed to Quest franchise business ownership.

Quest Apartment Hotels Chairman Paul Constantinou said the award specifically recognised Ms van de Ven’s commitment to the brand.

“Ms van de Ven’s dedicated and tireless service to Quest, and the Wodonga community, is an outstanding example to her colleagues. Her willingness to consistently go above and beyond the call of duty and achieve her personal best is second to none. She is an extremely worthy recipient of this award.” Mr Constantinou said.
