This afternoon I was dropping Stephanie to her ballet lessons at JESS. While I was parking the car, at a distance I  noticed a some what familiar face just out side the JESS.

After about 15+ years of working in the Emirates Catering offices at Emirates Operations Center, 3rd floor, we are now packing up to move to the new state of the art Emirates Group Headquarters(EGHQ) building on the Airport Road, Dubai.

However, like everything in life, the change is invariable and looking at positively, moving the new offices would give us greater opportunities to be able to work much more closely with our other partner departments within the company, which would be nice
