Paresh Salwadi
@pareshsalwadi
I lead premium workplace and hospitality operations across multi-site services, mobilisations, suppliers, and commercial projects.
What I'm looking for
At Rapport Guest Services, I lead workplace, front-of-house and facilities delivery across two UK client sites while supporting regional mobilisation across four global locations. I manage soft-service suppliers, Eptura Engage administration, compliance, KPI performance and executive support in a premium corporate environment.
Previously at The Nici Hotel, I helped launch the property, spa, pool facilities and a 60-cover restaurant, while building reservations processes from the ground up. I generated £300,000+ in group revenue over three months, contributed to a 20% increase in corporate occupancy, and improved online review response rates by 94% through a structured feedback process.
My background spans luxury hospitality, commercial operations, hotel openings and multi-site coordination. I bring a calm, methodical approach to complex operational problems, stakeholder relationships and high-standard service delivery.
