Frankie & Benny's restaurant in Greenbridge has promoted two of its waitresses to the management team.

Nicola Norridge, 27, and Caroline Mugford, 31, are now both supervisors, having worked as waitresses at the New York style Italian restaurant for more than two years.

Nicola said: "I'm incredibly happy to be promoted. The new position has given me more of a challenge and it's great to be rewarded for working hard."

Frankie and Benny's strongly believe in developing their staff and have earned Investor in People status and its Irish equivalent, Excellence Through People.

Caroline said: "I'm really pleased with my promotion.

"It has given me the responsibility I wanted."

General manager Joe Bouaouni was equally happy.

He said: "It's great to give our staff the opportunity to develop managerial skills and progress up the ladder."
