Good evening and welcome to yet another edition of Straight talk program, its coming to you under the auspices of Prominent Paint …… plays the advert.

BB:To day in the program we talk to the CEO of Sunbird Tourism Limited Mr. Roger Gardner.

Mr. R. G what a great opportunity talking to you tonight, many thanks we are meeting for 1^st time who is Roger  Gadner

R.G: Well I would like to take myself as a selfmade man when I was young man quiet a long time ago now the opportunity didn’t exist for the level of hotel studies training one can do, where I lived certainly so I have grown through this industries from a backing background funny enough to learn hand on the thing of hotel, I participating this industry gives me the opportunity to practice my skills, I love people and interacting with people but at the same time I have a statistical and financial background so putting them together gives the opportunity in the hospitality industry to practice all my skills.

BB:   How easy was it to blend from the making backing background to hotel back ground?

RG: Well I started in this business as a Waiter in the steak house while I was working in the bank, how to make extra money, one thing led to another and I went to club night, I worked for the Bs diamond mines for 3 years for the Recrational outlets, and it just led from there into the hotel because, it was a natural progression from Clubs , Rests into hotel business and Hired to leave it on one occasion out its in my blood – it came very strong when my family were begging to get branch into  into it , because I love the Hotel business.

BB:  Why do you love hotel business?

RG: People are the hotel business are guests, are staff both are equally important to me obviously the guests have the slide edge on the staff because the guests bring income into, our hotel and make it possible to pay staff but without two entities working together guests  and staff you have no industry at all it has always being my ambition to make people in this industry enjoy it.

I forgot i typed  my phone number on the profile of this blog one day my keen follower of this blog called from the USA as she put it that she miss my posts and she is considering to visit the warm heart of Africa sooner than she thinks.I am honoured to recieve such a positive feedback.

The question :HOW far are you from the internet to keep months of not  dropping a line or two on this blog about  Malawi and Africa?

My Response was not honest enough but all i can say is am back and after the rain comes the sunshine.
