He first joined Seda Hotels in 2012. Angeles tells of the hotel chain, “Seda is a company where employees come first. The workplace culture that Seda has cultivated over the years is unrivaled,” Angeles says.
He further reveals that the Seda culture can already be felt the moment you sit down for your first interview to the first day on the job. “You’re treated as a member of the family more than an employee. You’re also allowed to grow both professionally and as a person.”

A Born Hotelier
The hospitality industry seems to have been made for Armand Angeles. Its attraction to him felt like metal shards that easily stick to a magnet.
But this didn’t come immediately. His first dream was to become a chef. “I had and still have a deep passion for food. The feelings that great food evokes in people is something I always wanted to be a part of,” Angeles recalls.

While living and studying in Edinburgh, Angeles looked up to Scottish chefs like Gordon Ramsay, Tom Kitchin and Martin Wishart. “My first job was in a kitchen, washing dishes and big pots and pans. I would also prep the ingredients such as peeling carrots, onions and potatoes.”

Nevertheless, Angeles says that, “I wasn’t cut out to work in a professional kitchen. So I moved out on to the restaurant floor as a waiter where I found I was able to combine my love for food and looking after people. I still love to cook and when I can I always prepare food for my friends and family,” he says.

I really enjoyed reading the whole article. There’s so much to learn. This quotation hits me hard, “You’re treated as a member of the family more than an employee. You’re also allowed to grow both professionally and as a person.” Thanks for sharing momsh.
