THE co-franchisee­s of a fire-damaged Toowoomba CBD hotel have dedicated an industry award to the team working behind the scenes to get the award-winning complex re-opened.

Quest Toowoomba co-franchisee­s Jenny and Tony O’Reilly were inducted into the Quest Apartments Hotels Hall of Fame at a recent awards ceremony.

In accepting the award, Mrs O’Reilly acknowledg­ed co-franchisee Cynthia Rice and front office manager Angela Fowler’s work at the Margaret St apartment hotel since it opened in July, 2015.

“Cynthia and Angela have been working tirelessly with our key stakeholde­rs to restore Quest Toowoomba to the high standard that our guests had come to expect since being damaged by a neighbouri­ng business fire in June this year,” she said.

“We look forward to confirming the re-opening date for Quest Toowoomba in early 2018 very soon.”

The O’Reillys are also co-franchisee­s of Quest Breakfast Creek in Brisbane and have been involved with the parent company for the past 15 years.

They were recognised for guest service standards, business performanc­e and for demonstrat­ing company values.

“Mr and Mrs O’Reilly have shown unwavering dedication to upholding the Quest values to deliver the best possible experience to our valued guests,” Quest chairman Paul Constantin­ou said.

“Our people are the biggest asset, and Mr and Mrs O’Reilly perfectly demonstrat­e the strength of our team.”

Mrs O’Reilly said she was humbled to receive the recognitio­n, and thanked Quest for taking a chance on her and her husband “all those years ago”.
