Celebrity chef pays a visit to Dubai to open hospitality supplier’s head office and meeting space
Hospitality supplier Ronai welcomed British celebrity chef Brian Turner to Dubai last month, to open The B_asement: a meeting facility and the company’s new head office.
The B_asement, a former art gallery in the heart of Dubai industrial estate Al Quoz, can be hired out by chefs for different purposes, including private meetings, VIP events and product presentations.
The versatile facility also acts as A.Ronai’s new head office, combining its uniform tailoring factory, company offices and a large open gallery space.
Ronai managing director Gavin Dodd said: “It is important to have a showroom, but people from the industry can use it as well. It’s there for chefs, housekeeping staff or people from across the industry to use as a meeting facility or for product demonstrations.
“We hope it gives them somewhere to look at our product and a place outside the hotel or restaurant for them to conduct meetings and other business.”
Turner, an ambassador for A.Ronai brand Steelite International, made the trip to open the facility on behalf of the firm.
The celebrity chef commented: “There is no doubt that if there is a somewhere you can go as a chef and have a chat with someone, it is a good thing.
“It is good to see all the products in one space as well — today it’s The B_asement but, tomorrow it will be the top floor,” he joked.
