Mr.Karim Abbar Director of Operations

“By analyzing data, we could spot and fix bottlenecks, greatly improving our efficiency and guest satisfaction.”

What Inspired you to join the hospitality industry, and how did you start?

My passion for the hospitality industry is deeply rooted in my commitment to exceptional service and crafting unforgettable experiences for others. Even as a child, I delighted in hosting gatherings for friends and family, always ensuring that each guest felt thoroughly welcomed and cared for.

This personal inclination naturally evolved into a professional pursuit as I ventured into the hospitality sector, a field that perfectly aligned with my enthusiasm for meaningful interpersonal connections and making a positive impact in people’s lives. Whether it involves delivering outstanding customer service or creating personalized experiences tailored to individual preferences, I am continually inspired by the opportunity to

create lasting impressions. My professional journey in hospitality began 20 years ago in Marrakech, extending through various esteemed hotel brands in the Middle East. These experiences have been instrumental in refining my skills and deepening my passion for the industry. They have taught me the crucial importance of meticulous attention to detail, effective communication, and the adaptability needed to cater to diverse needs and preferences. Each step of my journey has further fueled my enthusiasm for hospitality, and I eagerly look forward to continuing to grow and contribute to this dynamic field in Morocco.

What were some of the significant challenges you faced during your years in the hospitality industry and how did you overcome them?

Throughout my career in hospitality, I’ve faced many challenges, each offering unique learning opportunities and requiring tailored solutions. One major challenge was meeting and exceeding guest expectations while resolving conflicts effectively. Ensuring guests are happy is crucial, but sometimes their expectations don’t match reality, which can lead to dissatisfaction. To tackle this, I focused on clear communication and genuine empathy. By actively listening to guests and understanding their feedback, I could address issues before they grew bigger. I also set up training programs to improve our staff’s communication and problem-solving skills, helping them handle guest issues confidently and professionally.

Another big challenge was keeping our operations efficient without sacrificing service quality, especially during busy times. This required careful planning and smart use of resources. I streamlined our operations and used advanced technology to make our workflows more efficient. By analyzing data, we could spot and fix bottlenecks, greatly improving our efficiency and guest satisfaction. Keeping up with quickly changing customer preferences and new technologies was also challenging. With more people using online booking and seeking for personalized experiences, it was crucial to stay up-todate. I encouraged a culture of innovation and ongoing learning in our teams, keeping on top of industry trends and training our staff continually. This approach helped us quickly adapt to market changes and tailor our services to meet evolving guest needs.

Balbirnie House Hotel

Nicholas Russell

MD and owner

“Our hotel brigade is very obviously the most important part of our working lives in and around Balbirnie House.”

What is your property’s current biggest challenge & how do you manage this challenge in a highly competitive industry?

Having started as GM 30 years ago, I have personally been running Balbirnie House ever since. It is an incredible hotel to work with, as we never ever have two days the same. There are currently massive challenges across the span of the UK, in relation to recruitment and energy costs. For recruitment we are successfully remunerating above national benchmarks, and above national minimum wage levels, regardless of age. As a result, we are fully staffed and have a waitlist of 150 wishing to join the brigade, long may this continue. Early in 2022 we successfully capped our energy contracts, and also most thankfully locked in for a full five years, so whilst costs have certainly risen, at least we know where we are, and where we are going to be. Our company directors are resolutely committed to the future, our future special event diaries are looking truly magnificent, and we will always be striving to do our

very best to ensure that Balbirnie House is always presented to her absolute best in history, and that our entire hotel brigade are fully equipped and completely motivated to deliver one very, very special day at a time.

What makes the hotel really special?

Our hotel brigade is very obviously the most important part of our working lives in and around Balbirnie House. We have 115 individuals in the team, and no matter what has ever happened before, we have to always take the opportunity to embrace each new day, as being absolutely unique, and endeavouring to deliver our absolute best-of-the-best of our Scotland hospitality. Balbirnie House as a project, is under continual review and permanent evolution. In 4 decades as a hotel, we have never closed for a refurbishment, we take one area and one project at a time, and keep going. We have in the region of 200 weddings taking place in 2022, and 2023 shows no sign of slowing down. Meeting prospective future new clients is always the

most special part of my own working week. Couples can never be exactly sure when it happened. Or even when it started. But at some point in that initial journey of contemplation our clients find themselves in the right here and now, falling totally in love with Balbirnie House, and all that we do. And so, each wedding begins.

How do you prepare now to remain relevant and in-demand in future?

Balbirnie House is now defined as ‘Best Wedding Hotel’, global category via Haute Grandeur, for the third time. What a remarkable bestin-world hat-trick!!! It is in all contexts simply incredible, and surely something that none of us will ever see happen again, for any other hotel in the world, ever? I can assure you, that our entire brigade are so very honoured and it is so profoundly humbling for us to be on the receiving end of these amazing awards, and knowing that today is never a dress rehearsal for tomorrow, it drives one and all to keep doing our best.

How do you expect the association with Haute Grandeur will benefit your brand in the medium/long run?

We have seen incredible press and media coverage. And we have been literally lost for words to see Motions of Congratulations being delivered in Scotland’s Parliament. As awards news have eventually subsequently filtered into our literature, they have become an indelible part of what we are. It is global history, and it will now be there forever. It is also so incredibly romantic, the very notion of getting married in the only hotel ever to have received the best wedding hotel global hat-trick, what an amazing and beautiful way in which to start a marriage.

It has been wonderful to have been asked to represent Scotland’s hospitality sector at the Haute Grandeur global awards. On two occasions our company directors have made annual trips to awards dinners in Dubai and Kuala Lumpur, with our entire wedding planning team, we felt it was incredibly important for those nearest to our clients in the planning processes, to be there to receive the awards on behalf of our entire brigade past and present. These are career-defining awards for one and all, and we will always treasure the many Haute Grandeur memories of a lifetime.
