MEET THE DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENTAL AWARD WINNERS
What is the secret ‘ingredient’ that
holds your team together?
There isn’t really a secret ingredient
that holds our team together. To make
something special, you just have to
believe it’s special.
Can you highlight an exceptional
achievement
in
2014
that
distinguished you from other teams
across the Group?
The Al Habtoor Group’s 45th
anniversary gala event was an
exceptional and challenging event
for myself and the rest of the Kitchen
team. First of all, it was the team’s first
time to conduct an outside catering
event for 700 VIP guests with a three
course set-menu served directly on
the construction site of Al Habtoor
City on Sheikh Zayed Road.
What would be your advice other
departments across the Group
aiming for the 2016 Departmental
Award?
To get the most prestigious award is
exceptional. You have to work from
the first strand of your hair up to the
tip of your toe to mix it up with all your
passion, loyalty and dedication to your
job at the same time. Enjoying your
job means you don’t have to work to
live but live to work for and that’s what
makes us different and stand out from
the others.
