Hyatt Regency Cape Town is proud to announce that Sales Manager, Megan Morey, has been named ‘Seller of the Year’ at EAME Kickstart 2025, a prestigious recognition that places her among the top sales professionals across Hyatt’s Europe, Africa, and Middle East region.
This award is a testament to Megan’s exceptional ability to drive revenue, foster meaningful client relationships, and contribute to the overall growth of the hotel in an increasingly competitive market.
Winning this award is no small feat. The EAME region comprises a vast network of Hyatt properties, and competition among sales teams is intense. Megan was selected based on her ability to exceed aggressive sales targets, particularly in rooms and banqueting, while maintaining the highest standards of client engagement and service delivery. Her ability to balance data-driven strategy with a deep understanding of client needs has set her apart, making her a standout performer not just in South Africa but across the entire region.
Megan credits this achievement to the strong culture of support at Hyatt and the partnerships she has built with her clients over the years. “Winning this award is an incredible honour, but more than that, it validates the work we do every day to make Hyatt the first choice for our guests and corporate partners. At the heart of every sale is a relationship and understanding a client’s needs, anticipating challenges, and delivering beyond expectations. That’s what drives me, and that’s what this award represents,” she said.
EAME Kickstart 2025, held last week in Barcelona, is more than just an awards ceremony—it is Hyatt’s annual gathering of top executives and sales leaders, where strategies are refined, industry trends are analysed, and the most outstanding contributors are recognized.
Since opening in 2021, Hyatt Regency Cape Town has positioned itself as a key player in the city’s business and leisure travel market. In partnership with the Millat Group, the hotel has not only established itself as a premium destination but has also contributed significantly to job creation, skills development, and the broader economic landscape of the Western Cape.
Megan’s award brings further prestige to the hotel, reaffirming its status as a flagship property within Hyatt’s African portfolio and strengthening its reputation as a go-to venue for both corporate and private events. Hyatt Regency Cape Town GM, Gallo Shanker, emphasized the broader significance of Megan’s win, stating: “Megan’s success is not just about numbers; it’s about leadership, resilience, and a deep commitment to service. She represents everything we strive for at Hyatt—excellence, innovation, and relationship-building. This award is not only well deserved, but it also signals to the industry that South Africa has some of the best hospitality talent in the world. We are proud to have Megan as part of our team, and we look forward to seeing her continue to set new benchmarks in sales and client service.”
Sales in the hospitality industry go beyond simply meeting targets. At a time when guest expectations are higher than ever, the ability to create tailored experiences, build trust with clients, and deliver consistently high-quality service is what truly defines success. This recognition is a significant milestone for Hyatt Regency Cape Town and underscores Hyatt’s commitment to nurturing talent, celebrating achievements, and continuously raising the bar for excellence. Looking ahead, Hyatt Hotels South Africa and the Millat Group remains focused on developing world-class hospitality professionals, strengthening its presence in South Africa, and building on this success for years to come.
