Describe Grand Africa:
"Our wandering spirit
took us all over the world on a voyage of
self discovery and love - all unique
and beautiful, and sometimes not. Forever
changed by what is seen, felt and
experienced, by people you meet and books
you read. Drawing from those wonderful
and sometimes seemingly crazy ideas and
emotions, jotted in our minds, we created
our beloved Grand Arica."

Describe your role as key GA team member:
SToCK, SToCK, SToCK!
Describe yourself work related:
Reliability
and honesty are my middle names.
Favourite Grand dish:
Fillet done Tagliata
style. Everyone loves meat, however our
tagliata sauce just offers something unique
to a plain piece of meat. A little salty yet a
bit of chilli with the sweetness of sun dried
tomatoes sold me from day one.
Favourite Grand Cocktail:
This would go
down very well with a chilled Viento or five,
to cut through everything.
Describe Grand Café & Beach:
The
managerial teamwork really had to cater for
every need of every person. From getting a
dog some water to doing full-scale new
Year's party, we can do it. There is nowhere
on earth that is more Grand than us.
