Meet the Team

General Manager

Originally hailing from Northern Ireland, Scott went to school then studied IT in Northumberland. Having worked in Edinburgh and Norfolk, he moved to Jersey and the Merton in 2015. He completed his Chartered Management Diploma from the CMI and held the position of Deputy General Manager until 2020, before he became Resort Manager in March and as of November 2020, General Manager.

He enjoys the variety of his current role, with the extensive facilities at the Merton ensuring he is always busy throughout the year. "I have never worked anywhere with the amount of repeat business that continues to return to the Merton", Scott says of the customer loyalty the hotel inspires.

Scott enjoys Jersey life, spending time with his young family and visiting the excellent local restaurants. He also appreciates the fact France is only an hour away for holidays.

His highlights for visitors include the Aquadome, Elizabeth Castle and the white sands of St Brelade’s Bay.

Front of House Manager

Mhackie Manuel joins the Merton Hotel team all the way from the Philippines, to fill the shoes of our Front of House Manager. Luckily for us Mhackie is a fun, friendly and approachable person with a love of meeting new people - a perfect fit for his role at the Merton. 

Mhackie’s favourite part of working Front of House is interacting with and getting to know a range of different people from different places and parts of the globe on a day-to-day basis, in fact there are no days that are ever the same in the hospitality world.

As a self-proclaimed foodie who loves trying new eateries and experiencing new foods, as well as being a lover of historical places, Mhackie has so far enjoyed his time in Jersey - top of his recommendation list for visitors is definitely Elizabeth Castle in St Helier.
