The Hotelier Middle East awards recognise the people who provide truly exceptional service, whether that is front or back of house, and celebrates those who often make the real difference, frequently behind the scenes, at some of the world’s most luxury hotels. Now running in its 16th year, the awards will be taking place on Sep 29, 2021 at JW Marriott Marquis Hotel in Dubai, UAE.
Paul’s 17 years of experience across the Middle East and Africa, has seen him help shape the full life cycle of hotel projects from development to design, and through pre-opening to operations. His vast knowledge of successfully growing hotel investments has seen him become a real thought leader in the industry.
Paul commented:
"It is a great honour to be recognising the exceptional efforts of Hospitality professionals in these challenging times. The way in which the hospitality industry has reacted to the changes brought about by the pandemic has been inspiring to say the least, and it is these passionate individuals that will help to shape the changing landscape of hospitality for years to come."
