A. Ronai took pity on the scruffy Hotelier team at The Hotel Show and kindly provided the team with shirts.

Commenting on the presentation of the shirts to ITP publishing director Diarmuid O'Malley, which took place at the ITP stand, MD Gavin Dodd said it was "excellent" and that he was pleased to be associated with ITP, further strengthening the relationship that has been built between the two companies over the last seven years.

"We are also very excited about the fashion show that is on at 2pm, 4pm and 6pm every day of the show. We are very excited by our designs and we will be showcasing these on the last models of each catwalk show."

Dodd added that a lot of the designs that will be on display were made in Dubai.  

A.Ronai has exhibited at The Hotel Show since the first event, and Dodd said it was a great exhibition for showcasing its range of uniforms both by its in-house designer and from the Simon Jersey catalogue.

“David Sprakes, our design and production manager, has just come back from a European trip whereby he spoke to many of the leading mills looking for the next big thing in corporate fabrics.

“We are focusing on fabrics which will be suitable for the Middle East climate and the harsh washing conditions and we are particularly interested in the new moisture wicking fabrics which are particularly ideal for chefs’’ uniforms,” Dodd said.

As well as providing advice on uniform selection, the company will also be exhibiting new ranges of cutlery and bone china from Steelite. Visit stand 2E-181 to find out more, and also attend the Corporate Catwalk.
