Pictured above from left to right: Marie Panks, Tony Lancini, Hotel Director Craig Dowie and Mercedes Martinez enjoying a celebratory breakfast at the Rutland Hotel.
Four dedicated employees at Sheffield’s largest independent hotel, The Rutland on Glossop Road, have been rewarded for clocking up 100 years of loyal service.
Night Porter Tony Lancini, 72, who started work at The Rutland Hotel back in 1977, is the longest serving of the quartet. He claims to know all the ghosts by their first names - and their habits!
Mercedes Martinez, 71, joined two years later than Tony. A breakfast waitress, she was originally employed by her husband who was restaurant manager at the time.
Working alongside Mercedes is 70-year-old Marie Panks, who joined The Rutland in 1982. Despite her advancing years she continues to work six days a week, getting up at 5am to make sure guests receive an enjoyable breakfast.
The junior member of the hard-working group is Emmanuel Okereke, 68, who joined the hotel 10 years ago as kitchen porter and still works five days a week "just to keep tabs on the youngsters."
Hotel Director Craig Dowie says: "Their long service demonstrates how much our staff enjoy working at The Rutland Hotel. Such loyalty and experience makes sure our guests always have an enjoyable stay."
