<p>In May, when one of Sandals Negril’s Club Sandals agents, 27-year-old Shenade Quarrie, was announced as the Diamond Team Member of the Year 2018 the ballroom at the Negril Hills Golf Club erupted with cheers and screams as she undoubtedly deserved the coveted title. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>And last week, Quarrie triggered even more screams,
cheers of glee, hugs and congratulations when she was announced as the new Club
Sandals Manager for Sandals Negril, leading a team of 18 persons.</p>

<p>Club Sandals is the department responsible for giving guests personalised concierge services that may include preparing vacation itineraries, making reservations, handling guests activities on and off the resort, as well as hosting special events for guests.</p>

<p>“Even with the absence of a manager and a supervisor,
Shenade has really been carrying the Club Sandals mantle efficiently and with
pride,” General Manager, David Latchimy said, ahead of the announcement.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>He was right. Quarrie’s team underwent a transition
recently and she was quick to jump in and fill the gap. This saw her handling
the arrival of club level and butler guests, preparing her team's weekly
schedule, representing in Heads of Department meetings, daily shift meetings
and other things required of a supervisor, while still carrying out her
assigned tasks as a Club Sandals agent. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In fact, people would see her assisting with tasks
outside of her job description and admit they wouldn't extend themselves the
way she does. But she is never deterred by that.</p>

<p>“I always share with my team members that people will
try to spew negativity, but we should never allow that to slow us down because
in all that noise, you never know who is watching,” she said.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Apart from her latest promotion, Quarrie is still
basking in her Team Member of the Year moment and says she is happy she did
something great in the eyes of her four-year-old son. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>&nbsp;“On the night
when my name was announced as Diamond Team Member, my son was the first person
who came to my mind. I was like: ‘I did it for us, Amairy’,” she said.</p>
