David Elliott
Beverage manager
Jumeirah Beach Hotel
A very rare candidate for the award, as with 22 outlets (and hence beverage lists) to oversee as well as an outlet to manage five days a week, David’s resounding commitment has still seen him achieve many goals this year.
He helped negotiated the purchase of a unique bottle of 1907 Heidsieck Monopole Champagne after it had been rescued from a sunken ship for more than 80 years.
David was also a key player in the selection of the new House Wines for the entire Jumeirah portfolio in the UAE and went on to taste, sample and select 50 wines exclusive to the Jumeirah Group.

Working on his day off most weeks to ensure the beverage side of the
hotel is working efficiently, David is a professional who goes above and beyond.
