MANCHESTER, NH – The Falls Event Center welcomed Manchester native Colleen Clayton as its new banquet & catering sales manager. Clayton was hired by The Falls’ parent company, Roedel Companies, in July to ensure the highest level of service and seamless sales process for all customers, and to continue building The Falls’ client portfolio by highlighting it as one of Southern New Hampshire’s premier event facilities.
“Colleen has been in the food, beverage and hospitality industry for more than thirty years, but you don’t need to read her resume to know all that she’s capable of,” said Glenn Hardman, President of RGH Hospitality, management subsidiary of Roedel Companies. “As a Manchester native, Colleen knows this region like the back of her hand, and it’s rare to meet someone who doesn’t know Colleen personally. We’re thrilled to have someone so dedicated to the success of the local community on our team.”
The Falls Event Center, which opened in 2016 following a $1.5 million, complete interior renovation, features more than 7,000 square feet of flexible event space, including seasonal outdoor space. Located in the historic Millyard district at 21 Front Street, hiring Clayton doubles the millyard’s Clayton factor – she’s married to John Clayton, executive Director of Manchester Historic Association.
Prior to joining The Falls Event Center as banquet & catering sales manager, Clayton was responsible for growing wine and liquor sales and organizing events for a number of organizations throughout New Hampshire, New England and Florida, including Perfecta Wine Company, Total Wine and More, Martignetti Companies of New Hampshire, United Beverages Inc., and Westwood Restaurant Group. Clayton received her Bachelor of Science in Hotel Management from New Hampshire College (now Southern New Hampshire University).
