UK Travel Industry Entrepreneur and Philanthopist Recognised With Community Award

<

p>LONDON, UK - 6 March 10 - Veteran travel industry entrepreneur, hotelier and property developer, Mr.

Joginder Sanger was recently awarded the Community Award at the House of Commons, in recognition of his outstanding lifelong dedication to philanthropic work in the United Kingdom and abroad.

During a ceremony held at the House of Commons, Rev. Jesse Jackson, well- known African American civil rights leader presented the award to Mr. Sanger, described in the citation as a "Gentleman who has devoted much of his time to fundraising and philanthropic work with success."

On accepting the award, Mr. Sanger said “I have been fortunate enough in life to become successful in my endeavours and felt compelled to share this goodwill with others, I am both humbled and honoured by this award as there are many others who deserve it more; I only did what everyone is expected to do," he stated.

Now a well-known figure in the London business community, Mr. Sanger started out with a small travel agency in East London in 1965 and has since built up a number of businesses including hotel properties such as the Courthouse Doubletree by Hilton, The Bentley London Waldorf Astoria Collection and the Washington Mayfair Hotel, as well as travel agencies and property developments, providing thousands of jobs in the process.

As Chairman of Mast Craft Ltd, Sanger continues to play an active role in overseeing his business empire, whilst devoting significant time and resources to supporting philanthropic and community projects, particularly in the Indian arts and culture. His many achievements in this arena include playing an instrumental role in fundraising for the construction of the United Kingdom’s largest Hindu temple near Birmingham

Hotel Human Resources: The Biggest Challenges
The economic challenges of the past four years have led many hotel companies to re-examine the ways in which they do business and how they deploy talent. In many cases, the work did not go away and fewer people were left to carry on the tasks that had previously been shared among many. As we work our way out of the recession and look forward to a healthier economic environment, there is an understanding that despite recovering business levels, we may never see the return of former staffing levels. This "new norm" of operating with leaner teams has led Human Resources professionals and people managers to look at career development and growth opportunities in a new light. The March Hotel Business Review will take a look at some of the strategies being used by successful hotel brands, and techniques human resource directors are currently exploring.
