Ananda joined the team of the Crowne Plaza Sohar in Oman during the preopening
stage on November 2008 as Stewarding supervisor.

Since then he has been running the whole stewarding department as no suitable
candidate for the position of chief steward could be found.

Despite having never been involved in a preopening, Ananda stepped up to the plate and managed the team superbly.

With many of the new starters lacking any hospitality or kitchen experience, Ananda has worked tirelessly to bring them up to speed.

Furthermore, aside from training, he manages the expenses and safety requirements of the department.

His dedication to the job and all that it entails means he has become a highly valued asset at the hotel.
