Employees on the move at Holiday Inn Express and Black Bear Diner

(Sequim, WA) The Holiday Inn Express, Sequim promoted Kevin Merrigan to Maintenance Manager and the Black Bear Diner, Sequim promoted Adam Jones to Assistant Manager.

Merrigan, who has been in charge of maintenance at the Holiday Inn Express, Sequim since November 2014, will now manage maintenance at the Quality Inn and Suites, Sequim and the Black Bear Diner, Sequim too. Merrigan has been instrumental in improving safety and cutting costs by bringing many maintenance functions in-house instead of contracting from outside the area.

Jones is now responsible for helping to manage both the kitchen and the dining room at the busy restaurant. Jones brings a wealth of talent in all aspects of restaurant management.

Said Bret Wirta, CEO of Wirta Hospitality Worldwide and owner of all three properties, “Both of these men are multi-talented and savvy. They will make great additions to the high-performing management teams we have in place. Their skills will help us to continue to provide the best possible customer experience here on the Olympic Peninsula, and we’re fortunate they have chosen to work for our company.”
