WHY WAS HE NOMINATED?

Muhaiullah has worked hard to provide all the necessary logistical and material support necessary for the hotel to provide maximum guest comfort, such as negotiating an increase in the internet speed for the hotel’s Royal Floor from 1MB to 3MB during Ramadan without any additional charges. Moreover, Muhaiullah extended special attention to the hotel’s VIP needs such as purchasing exotic fruits, special dates, smoked items, imported cheeses, nuts and different verities of imported water. Muhaiullah was also able to overcome product shortages in the market by closely liaising with his suppliers, while also saving the hotel approximately SR 3.9 million by re-negotiating various products and contracts such as small operating equipment, food products and POMEC items.
