We have managed to increase our market share in this vertical sector considerably over the past months, and this bodes well for the second half of the year.

Our fully trained, experienced and qualified staff can fulfil a variety of roles within the hospitality sector seamlessly.' Overall, Farnek has signed multiple new contracts with premier hospitality brands, including Kempinski, Sofitel, JW Marriott, Millennium, Emaar, Grand Hyatt, and Atlantis Dubai.
