BRIEF INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY OF INTERCONTINENTAL HOTEL GROUP (IHG)

From the first Bass brewery in 1777 to todays hotel company with more guest rooms than any other, IHGs history is one of pioneering people and new ideas 1777 William Bass sets up a brewery in Burton-on-Trent. The Bass business thrives, developing into one of the UK's leading brewers. 1876 The Bass red triangle becomes the first trademark to be registered in the UK.

Figure 1: Bass red triangle logo

1960S Bass acquires a number of well-known regional brewing companies including Mitchells & Butlers in the Midlands (1961), before merging with Charringtons in London in 1967. These acquisitions make Bass one of the largest brewers and pub owners in the UK. 1988 Bass makes its first significant international move into the hotel industry, buying Holiday Inns International. 1989 The Beer Orders legislation is passed. This limits the number of tied pubs that major brewers can own and signals a major industry restructuring. Bass reduces the number of pubs that it owns dramatically and focuses on larger outlets. At the same time, it directs cash flow into developing an international hotel business. 1990 Bass buys the North American Holiday Inn business and Holiday Inn grows internationally. 1991 Bass launches Holiday Inn Express, a complementary brand in the limited service segment. 1994 Bass launches Crowne Plaza, a move into the upscale hotel market.

Bass's pubs business continues to grow. The business has also become increasingly branded. Bass opens the first O'Neills public house in 1994 and acquires the restaurant chain Harvester in September 1995.

The Harvester acquisition, the development of the All Bar One brand in 1994 and the acquisition of the Browns restaurant chain marks a significant commitment to the growing eating out market in the UK. 1996 Bass's attempt to acquire half of the Carlsberg-Tetley brewing business in the UK is blocked by the UK government. Bass renews its focus on its hotels and pubs divisions. Over the next few years, it sells smaller, non-core businesses such as Gala bingo and Coral bookmakers, along with some of its pubs, including the leased pub business. 1997 As the hotel business becomes more purely brand focused, Bass sells its North American midscale hotel buildings, but keeps control of the branding of the hotels through franchise agreements. Bass creates and launches a new hotel brand, Staybridge Suites by Holiday Inn. It's an entry into the profitable North American upscale extended stay market. Staybridge Suites becomes the fastest brand in this segment to reach 50 units in the Americas. 1998 Bass acquires the InterContinental hotel company, adding an upper upscale brand to its hotel portfolio. It's an acquisition that brings considerable synergies and cost savings. 1999 The group strengthens its pub division in the UK by cherry picking 550 highpotential sites from Punch Taverns, who had acquired the 3,500 strong pub estate of Allied Domecq. 2000 By acquiring Southern Pacific Hotels Corporation (SPHC) in Australia, Bass confirms its position as the leading hotel company in Asia Pacific. It also acquires Bristol Hotels & Resorts Inc., a US-based hotel management company comprising 112 hotels operating mainly under leases. This gives the group a stronger management contract presence in the world's largest hotel market. 2000 The group sells Bass Brewers to a major Belgian brewer for 2.3 billion. This marks the final step in refocusing the group from a domestic brewing operation to a leading international hospitality retailer a process that has taken over ten years to complete. It also involves the sale of the Bass name and a change of name to Six Continents PLC a name that better reflects the global spread of the group's businesses. 2001 In February, Six Continents sells 988 smaller, unbranded pubs for 625 million.

In April, it acquires the European Posthouse chain of hotels for 810 million. The chain has hotels in strategic locations that are suitable for conversion to Holiday Inn, consolidating the Holiday Inn brand in the UK and Europe. The group buys the InterContinental Hong Kong for 241 million, strengthening its position in the upscale hotel market in the key Chinese and Asia Pacific markets.

2002 On 1 October, Six Continents PLC announces the proposed separation of the groups hotels and soft drinks businesses (to be called InterContinental Hotels Group PLC) from the retail business (to be called Mitchells & Butlers plc), and the return of 700 million of capital to shareholders. This process is completed on 15 April 2003. InterContinental Hotels Group PLC (IHG) is now a distinct, discrete company, listed in the UK and the US stock markets. 2003 In July, IHG sells 16 Staybridge Suites hotels to Hospitality Properties Trust (HPT) and enters into a 20-year management agreement. In December, IHG adds the midscale extended-stay brand Candlewood Suites to its portfolio. 2004 In April, IHG announces the introduction of a new brand, Hotel Indigo, focused on providing affordable boutique accommodation. In the same month, the group adopts new standards for selling or re-selling hotel rooms for guest stays through online travel companies. 2005 Following the success of the extended-stay Staybridge Suites brand in North America, IHG launches Staybridge Suites UK in April 2005. IHG announces the disposal of 100% of its holding in Britvic plc. IHG is now a company with a pure hotels focus. 2006 IHG signs an operating joint venture with All Nippon Airways (ANA). The resulting joint venture IHG ANA Hotels Group Japan will be the largest international hotel operator in Japan, the worlds second largest hotel market. The deal sees the introduction of three new brands created for Japan: ANA-InterContinental, ANA-Crowne Plaza and ANA-Holiday Inn. 2007 IHG announces a worldwide relaunch of the Holiday Inn brand family, comprising Holiday Inn, Express by Holiday Inn and Holiday Inn Express. The relaunch programme will give Holiday Inn a refreshed and contemporary brand image. All Holiday Inn hotels open or under development are expected to have implemented the relaunch programme by the end of 2010, with the first due to open in mid 2008 in the US

Global Quality System (GQS) sets high quality standards, which are designed to meet or exceed all customer expectations, as well as all federal, state and local regulatory requirements. This system includes:

Food Safety Practices (FSP), which considers prerequisite programs

62

Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), which is used to measure food safety performance Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), which covers food production processes, service processes such as equipment handling, bonded and non-bonded storage, ramp, transportation, and loading, with careful monitoring and measurements at each step of the process Critical Manufacturing Control Point (CMCP), which is used to measure the nonfood safety related quality performance.

In the following, it has focus on food safety measures within the Global Quality System, which is FSP and HACCP. Safety & Quality Assurance Practices: FSP & HACCP system within GQS covers documented procedures on practices listed above. Below are some of the aspects of GQS followed in facilities worldwide.

Food Safety Practice

Personal Hygiene: This portion of FSP regulates items such as hand washing, use of uniforms and safety shoes, hair restraints, use of disposable gloves as well as staff training on personal hygiene. Building Sanitation: In this area our GQS requires for example proper facility cleaning and pest control programs. Cleaning schedules are posted specific to each area and information and training is available on cleaning frequency, which chemicals to use, and who is responsible for cleaning duties. Pest control is performed by external pest control experts that regularly perform visits to verify the effectiveness of their programs. Equipment Sanitation: The cleaning and sanitizing of dishes, glasses and other onboard service items as well as kitchen equipment and utensils is strictly monitored, using either thermal sanitization or chemical sanitization as is appropriate. Dishwashing machines are constantly monitored to verify proper temperatures, and chemical levels are monitored and logged to ensure proper sanitizing.

Food Handling: This area, for example, covers food safety measures in regard to food covering, thawing, trimming, washing, cutting, slicing as well as segregation of raw and ready-to-eat food, date labeling, stock control and time and temperature control from production until delivery to the aircraft. Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) LSG Sky chefs follow the rigorous industry standard HACCP Plan across worldwide network. HACCP is a systematic approach to control identified hazards that directly affect the safety of food. Following the 7 principles of HACCP, are assessed and identified socalled "Critical Control Points" which are monitored, recorded and verified throughout the production process to ensure it maintain the highest food safety standards. HACCP Principles includes the following: Principle 1 Conduct a Hazard Analysis (evaluate the process). This involves creation of a "Process Flow Diagram" representing the various stages / steps of the process. The team must first identify all possible hazards and understand the measures / steps needed to control them. Principle 2 Determine the Critical Control Points (CCPs). The team must evaluate each potential area of risk to establish where the crityical control points will exist. Principle 3 Establish Critical Limits. The team must determine measurements or values that indicate the operational limits for each critical limit. These values represent the difference between being in or out of control. Principle 4 Establish Monitoring Procedures for the measurement of the CCP. This describes the techniques and methods of measurement used to evaluate critical limits and will be well described in the documentation created for Principle 7 (creation of standard operating procedures). Principle 5 Establish Corrective Actions. This considering what may occur if the process does not meet critical control limits. How can errors be corrected (if possible)? What organizational procedures will be used to correct and document such procedures? Principle 6 Determine / Establish Verification Procedures. These are methods to check / verify whether the HACCP plan is functioning correctly. Principle 7 Create Documentation./ Standard Operating Procedures. This requires documented instructions (standard operating procedures) and accurate record keeping for all critical control points.
