Lucas was a fantastic waiter at The Ampersand Hotel, delivering a 5 star standard of service. He’s a very organised and time effective individual who has a passion to take a problem and find the best solution possible. His outgoing and warming personality, really does allow him to create powerful lasting relationships with people from various backgrounds. Was a pleasure working with you Lucas!
