Dushy is an extremely driven individual who has taken catering & events revenue from strength to strength and improved all sales across the hotel. The catering revenue has grown and currently sits within the top revenue streams for The Langham, Melbourne. I’ve always found Dushy a self-motivated individual, who gets the best out of the people around him through his attitude and examples.
