Demonstrated Great Peopleology Values
Adam Lampton-NIcholls - Mecure Geelong
The Real Deal sums Adam up 100%! It doesn’t get much more authentic than Adam with his amazing mop of long, thick, curly hair and his big, perfect smile, he is the welcoming face our guests see each morning as they wander through Mercure Geelong and into the Restaurant to enjoy their breakfast. Rain, hail or shine he’s always up for a chat and has plenty of stories to tell and always enjoys hearing your story too. Adam really does aim to please and through his natural chat he discovers more about our guests than you can imagine and finds out what they really want and makes it happen. This may be as simple as a lemon tea to help their cold or support for our guests whose loved one might be in the hospital next door. When Adams around all our guests feel like they’ve come home to catch up with a great friend and Adam has that knack of making them feel special just through the genuine attention he gives them.
