Trigon Hotels, which includes The Metropole Hotel and The Cork International Hotel, honoured the team members at the annual Long Service Awards in the Cork International Hotel on Thursday, September 25th 2025.
Among those honoured for their long service was HR Data Analyst Cattleya McCathy, who has been with the company for 15 years.
