“He's a bright, switched-on individual with integrity and strong business acumen and has proved an asset to the hotel; particularly over the last twelve months as we've been enhancing the Charing Cross experience to complement the hotel's multi-million pound Buckingham Wing refurbishment. I have every confidence Vidur will grow to become a true industry leader – watch this space."
Kapur picked up his award at the glittering Acorn Awards ceremony at Coworth Park Hotel, Berkshire. He added: "I'm thrilled to receive this award. To be recognised for all the hard work is just a fantastic feeling but I could not have achieved my goals and got to where I am today without some inspirational mentors and the backing of a fantastic team here at Charing Cross."
