There is no other Procurement Person like Al Bustan Palace Hotel's Rajan Vattakandy. His knowledge of everything a hotel needs and his network are legendary. I was always amazed about his ability to remember, telephone numbers,prices,specifications, suppliers, quantities, order dates etc - and to make sure all arrived on time. I admire this colleague for his dedication to his work and his great attitude towards everyone he meets.
