| Nina Kelly-Kleine Sales & Marketing Manager |
Tell us a little bit about yourself:
My name is Nina Kelly Kleine, I am 41 years old and live in Lisnaskea with my 6 year old son Finley. I have worked at the Belmore Court and Motel since March 2009 as Sales and Marketing Manager on a part time basis. Born in Coventry to Co. Monaghan parents, I moved to Newtownbutler at the age of 9 attending primary school in Newtownbutler and moving on to Lisnaskea High School until 16 when I first entered the workforce. Working for a local firm until the age of 22, I decided that the bright lights of Belfast was the place I wanted to be, so with another friend we applied for jobs and I was successful in my application and started at the Europa Hotel on a day John Major arrived I really thought I had hit the big time! My friend never made it to Belfast and I stayed there for a further 14 years working for a variety of hotels in different positions.
What do you do in your spare time?
What spare time? With a 6 year old there is very little time to myself, but I do squeeze time in to have my nails and hair done every couple of weeks and I am known to do a bit of travelling every second weekend.
Where is your favourite Holiday destination?
My favourite place to visit is the small Greek island of Kos, I haven’t been there in about 15 years but travelled there on a couple of occasions in my single life, I loved every minute of it. When I visited the island it wasn’t a hot spot for the Irish and English but was very popular with the Scandinavians, I can't work out if it was the island I was attracted to or what the island attracted.... it was all good.
What in life do you dislike?
I have recently realised I absolutely hate flying; I have no fear of it until I sit on the seat and then I hate it, its like a white knuckle ride!
What in life do you like?
I really like my network of friends both within the industry and my personal friends. I meet my group of 5 girl friends at least once a week for a morning coffee. The world is put to rights within an hour in Millers coffee shop.
What is your favourite quote?
I have a couple; 'a lady never loses composure' is probably my favourite and one that has been used many times in my lifetime
So is it shoes or bags?
It is both; I cannot resist either shoes or bags. I love something a little bit different and my favourite shoe shop is Shuzella in Monaghan, it’s very expensive but very different.
Savoury or sweet?
Again I love both but if I really had to choose it is savoury
What is your favourite Movie?
Topgun and I hear it is being released soon in 3d, I can’t wait to see it
What sort of music do you like?
I love most music but draw the line at country, I just don’t get the drones and the whines. Emeli Sandi is the latest album added to my ipod
What is your favourite book?
A 1000 Splendid Suns, it is an excellent read and was recommended by Michelle our Front Office Manager
So now we know a bit about your personal life tell us what you do in work
It is my responsibility to get bums in beds. In the current climate not the easiest job but I find it rewarding. Special offers are set in place and then it's all about letting everyone know what special offers we have available and how to book. This is done in a variety of ways from the Internet, postcard drops, exhibitions, ezines and face to face. No day is the same, it important to have the marketing plan innovative and be fast moving in this very competitive industry.
How would you describe yourself?
Full of fun and love the craic
What are your greatest achievements?
My greatest personal achievement is having Finely my son and my greatest working achievement is the awards we have won especially the Chartered Institute of Marketing Ireland Excellence Award 2012.
