Westmoreland
& Scully (W&S) employs approximately 60 part-time and 75 full-time
employees. With the opening of Chestnut and Corner Kitchen Catering, long gone
were the days of only a small crew at Corner Kitchen. With change comes
innovation. It was time for Kevin and Joe to think bigger. In walked Kim
Murray…
Kim Murray is
a passionate contributor to Asheville’s thriving independent restaurant
community, from making sure that customers get great service to serving on the
board of the Asheville Independent Restaurant Association. Now Kim brings her
infectious enthusiasm, commitment to service excellence and life-long learning
to W&S. Kim has worked in the hospitality industry for almost 30 years.
Kim’s roles have ranged from being a hostess and prep cook to senior management
positions and consulting on the openings of new establishments.
“I’ve been
trying to work with Chef Joe Scully since moving to Asheville in 2005 and after
spending time with Kevin Westmoreland on the AIR Board I knew that W&S
would be the dream team to be a part of. When offered the position of Director
of Employee Engagement I knew I’d found my niche – serving people in an HR
role, providing leadership and improving continuing education in an industry
that needs it” says Kim Murray.
Kevin
Westmoreland: “We are excited that Kim is on board and hope to continue making
Asheville a thriving community for people interested in working in the
restaurant industry. Our mission at W&S is to provide a genuine and
positive guest and employee experience. A key part of that is employee
engagement, and Kim has helped her employees with that throughout her
career."
