Kieron Hunt
F&B manager
InterContinental Hotels Group properties Dubai Festival City

Kieron has worked in hospitality for fifteen years, the last eight of those within F&B.

He is now in charge of a total of ten restaurant and four bars, working alongside a total of 356 F&B colleagues.

To be in charge of such a large project at the early age of 33 is quite an achievement and he has been integral in the conception and implementation of all promotions for the bars and restaurants of the hotels.

Kieron is renowned for going the extra mile and in one guest’s experience it was quite a few extra miles.

Last Christmas when a distraught guest contacted the hotel on Christmas Eve to say that her turkey was ruined, yet she had no way of collecting one from the hotel, so Kieron personally drove to the guest’s home to deliver the bird.

Although Kieron modestly says there is no I in team, refusing on many occasions to take
full credit for his work, the amount of responsibility and breadth of creative influence he has had over the food and beverage outlets show he is a more than worthy candidate.
