Philadelphia, PA (January 26, 2006) – Marty Grims, owner of the award-winning Moshulu restaurant/ located on the Philadelphia waterfront, has named Amy Gorman as Corporate Sales Manager. Gorman comes to the Moshulu from Aramark Harrison Lodging’s Villanova Conference Center, where she served as conference sales manager.

In her capacity at the Moshulu, Gorman will handle all corporate accounts, the convention market and pursue new opportunities for the Moshulu. “We have had great success with private parties on the Moshulu, from intimate dinner parties in our captain’s dining room off the deck and the captain’s table on the main floor to using the entire ship – interior and all the decks,” Grims said. “We have private dining rooms inside the ship, and we have tented several sections of the decks with heaters that allow us to host private parties and functions throughout the year. We are very proud of our success, and we see great potential in further developing our corporate business. Amy’s experience and her personal drive are the perfect combination with our excellent banquet team. The Moshulu offers unlimited possibilities.”
