As I move on, I would like to take a moment to remember and cherish the good times I have had while working in Bahrain. It has been a great experience working for the company. Even though I will miss Bahrain, I am looking forward to the new challenge and to start a new phase of my career.This is not a goodbye, only a brief parting as I am sure we will cross paths again in the future. I will be working with the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Zürich, Switzerland. Thank you for all the support.Heinz Krähenbühl.
