“I’m really happy to be working alongside Emily Micallef, Farah Fawzi, and Wayne Formosa, and I look forward to meeting the rest of the team. I couldn’t be happier to start this new era in my career,” she continued.

Ms McKay joins happhour.io after over two decades working in the hospitality sector. From March 2021 to earlier this month she served as Cluster Director of Corporate Sales at InterContinental Malta.
