Organisational changes in hotels Grande Bretagne and King George in Athens
After 18 years of distinguished service, Tim Ananiadis, the General Manager and Managing Director of the Hotel Grande Bretagne and King George Hotel, decided to step down from his role and retire. Throughout his tenure, Tim has proved himself as the keystone of the historic hotels and a person of inspired leadership and unparalleled dedication to the company. His contribution to creating an exemplary hotel in Greece and internationally is invaluable and beyond any doubt, Tim Ananiadis secedes, leaving behind a significant legacy for the next generation.
Tim will continue in his new role as a Senior Consultant of the Laskaridis’ family hospitality business holdings and will join the owning company’s,Lampsa SA, Board of Directors, unceasingly promoting the company with his outstanding knowledge and experience. He will be in his current position until the end of September 2020 allowing a smooth transition to his successor, Hom Parviz. Hom brings with him a wealth of experience in the luxury hospitality industry that commenced in 1996 as the Director of F&B at the Hyatt Regency Baku in Azerbaijan, strengthened over the following years in the same role at the Hyatt Regency La Manga Resort in Spain, and at the Grand Hyatt Muscat in the Sultanate of Oman. In 2001 he was in Australia at the Hyatt Regency Adelaide as the Executive Assistant Manager and in 2006 he moved back to the Hyatt Regency Baku, this time in the General Manager’s role. In 2009 he was the General Manager at the Hyatt Regency Bishkek in Kyrgyz Republic and from 2012 to present, he has acted as the General Manager at the Hyatt Regency Belgrade in Serbia. Hom has proven to be a strong and dynamic hotelier, known for his excellent managerial skills, leadership approach, commitment to quality, and passion for luxury hospitality with a strong international curriculum. “From my very first visit to Hotel Grande Bretagne in 2013, I remember the feeling of walking into every hotelier’s dream. In my travels, I have encountered only a few hotels that managed to transcend its role and become a landmark, an entity that is no longer only a hotel but a place that is the spirit of the city. The news of having been selected as the General Manager of these iconic hotels, both humbled and excited me. It comes to me as a recognition of more than 30 years in the hospitality industry and I feel extremely privileged and fortunate to be given a chance to continue and contribute to their traditions.” says Hom Parviz.
On behalf of the management of Lampsa SA, CEOTassos Homenidis states: “We would like to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to Tim Ananiadis. He will always be a close and beloved friend. We would also like to extend our warmest welcome and cordial wishes Hom Parviz, whom we strongly believe will eminently defend the title of the flagship of Greek Tourism that Hotel Grande Bretagne fairly preserves all these years.”
