Small business award brings 5 star Swan House recognition and focus

By James Russell: Small business award brings 5 star Swan House recognition and focus

February 17, 2014

Swan House, a boutique bed and breakfast in Hastings, has found new focus and drive since being named as a regional winner in the FSB WorldPay UK Business Awards.

The luxury bed and breakfast was announced as a finalist in the Micro Business category of the small business awards and has since continued to strive to maintain its exemplar ratings. The five star gold rated hotel, which is run by Brendan McDonagh and his business partner Lionel Copley, has been in business for more than seven years and is currently the number one bed and breakfast in the Hastings area on Trip Advisor.

Brendan McDonagh, Co-Proprietor of Swan House comments: “We were gobsmacked to be named as the regional winners of the Micro Business category – it’s a huge privilege and honour. It bought a new lease of life to our team and allowed everyone to share in the pride of being recognised for our hard work and efforts.

“Obviously, being named as a finalist in the awards is very humbling, but what was great was that it allowed me to ensure the processes we have in place are the best they can possibly be. Running a small business means that sometimes other things can take priority, but compiling an award entry focuses your attention on overheads and I.T. processes. By entering the FSB WorldPay awards we have been given a new motivation and are really keen to adopt this new energy and move forward to maintain our five star reputation in and around Hastings.”
