Women celebrate careers on National Women's Day

Women Team Members at Hilton London Heathrow Airport are celebrating their career paths, as part of this year’s International Women’s Day.

IWD is a global event – taking place on 8 March – which this year is showcasing the need for gender equality as one of its main themes.

Staff at the Hilton at Terminal 4 are using the day to highlight the senior positions that many women hold at the hotel, in line with Hilton’s worldwide ranking as one of the best companies for women to work for.

Among those in senior roles at Hilton London Heathrow Airport are Commercial Director, Roxanne Mongie, Director of Sales, Caylee Unsworth, Assistant Front Office Manager, Benedetta Sole, Executive Office Manager, Amy Flynn and Alessia Gammella, who is Cluster Marketing Manager for three Hilton properties.

All of the women have risen through the ranks and have been promoted over their years with the company, which they believe gives everyone the same opportunities for growth.

Roxanne has spent 13 years with Hilton, working in South Africa and Dubai before coming to London.

“I believe Hilton is a great organisation for anyone – not only women – as they promote equal opportunities based on merit and performance,” she said.

The Commercial Director believes International Women’s Day is “an important celebration of equal opportunity, allowing us all to reflect on how the world has and is changing to be more inclusive.”

Cluster Marketing Manager Alessia Gammella, who now manages marketing at three hotels including Hilton London Heathrow Airport, added that International Women’s Day was a great opportunity not just to highlight the need for equality but also to celebrate companies that are leading the way.

“Hilton is a great organisation for women to work for,” said Alessia.

“It gives me the flexibility to balance my personal life and my work life. Being part of Hilton means I can believe that nothing is impossible even if others think I cannot do it. It gave me the opportunity to progress in my career from executive to manager, providing the training and development I needed to succeed.”
