A Brew with Purpose: Holiday Inn Express Partners with Local Brewing Co. With the weekend fast approaching, we are pleased to announce that Holiday Inn Express is raising the bar (and the glass) on guest experiences with an exciting new partnership with Melbourne-based craft brewery, Local Brewing Co. Together, we’re proud to unveil the exclusive Express Pale Ale, a beer crafted not only for exceptional taste, but also for meaningful impact. Here’s why this collaboration is worth toasting: ✔️ Supporting Local: This partnership celebrates Australia’s vibrant craft brewing scene while providing guests with new local experience. ✔️ Giving Back: For every Express Pale Ale sold, SecondBite, a leading food rescue organisation contributes to feeding those in need. Since 2019, Local Brewing Co. has already helped deliver over 400,000 meals—and now, we’re excited to help amplify their impact. ✔️ Commitment to Sustainability: Pro-invest Group and Local Brewing Co. share a passion for #ESG principles, from reducing waste to ethical sourcing. Partnering with Local Brewing Co. aligns with our mission to provide guests with memorable experiences that celebrate the best of our region. Next time you visit a Holiday Inn Express in Australia, raise your glass of Express Pale Ale and join us in making every pour count! #Sustainability #Hospitality #CraftBeer #LocalBrewing #HolidayInnExpress #ESG

2024 has been a whirlwind, and I feel incredibly grateful for the journey. It started on a high, being honored with IHG's NHOP General Manager Award— a testament to the amazing teams I've had the privilege to lead. And now, closing the year with Hotel Indigo Melbourne on Flinders being awarded Upper-Upscale Hotel of the Year at the HM Awards is a moment of immense pride. A special shoutout to Tarusha Fernando, our Hotel Manager, for his unwavering leadership and for continuing to inspire the team on the floor. Thank you to all the teams, partners, and mentors who have supported and inspired me along the way. Here’s to pushing boundaries and making 2025 even brighter! #HospitalityExcellence #HMAwards #ProinvestGroup #IHG Pro-invest Group IHG Hotels & Resorts Hotel Indigo Bruce RYDE Neerav Gorasia
