Ahamed said: “Counting back, it’s been three wonderful years with this ace venue Shimmers on the Beach, turn the page to today I get closer to this hospitality castle. I would like to thank Jaime Simpson, Rispoli Roberto, Charles-Antoine Chaudron, Adel Elgabry, and Mina Kokanović for all the support from day one and for handing over this valuable position to me.”
