Paul Somers – Customer Services Manager

Following 12 years of service in the British army, Paul left the forces and started work as IT Manager for Hilton Park Lane in London. After two years at the Hilton, Paul moved to InnFax as their European Technical Manager. For the next 7 years he travelled around Europe installing in top hotels and dealing with multiple tasks ranging from project management, to customer service. Coming from a hotel background has given him a unique perspective of the various levels of hotel life, with customer service being one of his top goals. In 2003 under the new banner of Ultra.Serv, he moved to Dubai and took over the running of the Middle East region, where he dealt with sales, client relations and technical issues.
