He went on to refine his kitchen skills and climb the culinary ladder with chef roles at Hilton properties in Zurich, London, the Bahamas and Amsterdam.
In 2006, Lazarus became area director of F&B for Hilton UK and Ireland, overseeing operations in over 75 hotels – and ably equipping himself for the rigours of a role in the Middle East market.
