Coreen Docherty crowned Macdonald’s top spa therapist

Macdonald Hotels has recognised its outstanding staff at its annual High Achievers Awards dinner, naming Coreen Docherty (pictured, centre) as Spa Therapist of the Year.

Docherty works at the Macdonald Houstoun House Hotel near Livingston in West Lothian. She was nominated by colleagues as an high achiever in the team, and competed against other spa therapists in the Macdonald group in a series of written tests, role plays and practical exercises to test skills and knowledge.

Along with Spa Therapist of the Year, there were nine other categories honoured at the gala dinner, which was held at Macdonald’s Burlington Hotel in Birmingham. Brett McCarten from the Macdonald Old England Hotel & Spa Windermere picked up the title of Fitness Instructor of the Year.

The group’s deputy chief executive Ruaridh Macdonald said, “We’re incredibly proud of everyone across the company at every level and would like to congratulate all the winners.”
