I am writing this letter at the request of Mr. Chrishantha Fernando. Fernando was employed by us in the position of Executive Chef during the period of May 1, 2013 to March 15, 2015. During that time; Fernando proved himself to be very adept at cost control, controlling both food and labour costs well within guidelines.
We found Fernando to be innovative and would always rise to new challenges. He was honest, dependable and a good leader.
Because we rented-out our food and banquet business; we no longer required an Executive Chef position. Should you require more information; please do not hesitate to contact me personally. Mrs. Sylvia Park
