Faisal Kaniyan, Dubai World Trade Centre

Faisal Kaniyan bagged the prestigious ‘Kitchen Hero of the Year’ title at the 2017 Caterer Middle East Awards.

Kaniyan was not present at the event as he was travelling; his colleague, Abdul Aziz, chief steward at the Dubai World Trade Centre, collected the award on his behalf.

Aziz said: “With this award and the recognition that comes with it, he [Kaniyan] can go anywhere, because the company has given this opportunity. This award will enable him to pursue better job opportunities and it will now motivate him to work harder.

“The award will allow him to rise in the department, the management will also recommend a higher position for him.” Aziz added: “He always is positive and has a smile on his face, no matter what the circumstances. He’s very capable, and he definitely deserves this award.”

An ecstatic Kaniyan, who collected his award a few days afer the ceremony, told Caterer Middle East that he wasn’t expecting it at all. “This award truly means a lot to me and my career, my aim is to work harder and get recognised further,” he said.

DMK marketing manager MENA Daniel Deliano presented the award.
