Bio
Adrian Skipper
Over the past 12 years in dealing with Ranjith as Deputy General Manager of RCHG and President of deVine Wine Club, I have been extremely impressed with his dedication and passion. Travelling throughout the world I am able to positively say that Ranjith comes as close as you can get to doing the "perfect" job and being an exceptional host in the hotel industry. His knowledge of the Hospitality Industry, wine and dedication and enthusiasm to his work is inspiring to all and I feel honoured in having the opportunity to having known Ranjith and Chitra and will most certainly be visiting them in Sri Lanka once they are established.

I had the pleasure of working with Ranjith for over 3 years at the legendary Royal Cliff Hotels Group in Jomtien, Thailand and would jump at the chance to work with him again. Ranjith is a true Hotelier in every sense. Guest and product oriented while at the same time watching the bottom line and delivering the results that the company of the owner required. Ranjith does not shy away from responsibilities, nor is he afraid of difficult projects. A true asset for any International Hotel Management company. I have gotten to know Ranjith as a person with very high integrity, responsibility, dedication and commitment. He will go that extra mile when needed and provides solid back up to his superiors and at the same time does not let his team alone. He is critical of quality and excellence in terms of output. Apart from being an excellent manager, Ranjith is without doubt the most professional wine expert I have ever met in my entire career. His wine knowledge is extraordinary and he has such a great passion. It has been a honour to have worked with Ranjith and I am sure that any company that hires Ranjith will not be disappointed with his performance.

Mr. Ranjith is very well known and respected on the Eastern Seaboard horeca community. In his former role as hotel manager and in his capacity as president/founder of the deVine Wine Club he is one of those characters that make a lifetime impression on people once you start to know them better. From my own experience I know that the hospitality industry is NOT the easiest profession in man's lifetime; especially if you are almost absorbed in one of the most successful hotel properties in Pattaya, working for very affluent Chinese-Thai owners. Yet, Ranjith managed to become almost an icon in his leading role for as long as I know him. Well done and lost of success for the near future!
