Road Lodge Potchefstroom general manager, Brandon Adams, received the Rising Star Award from the School of Tourism and Hospitality (STH) at the University of Johannesburg on 22 September 2021. That exact same evening, CEO of the Tourism Business Council of South Africa (TBCSA), Tshifhiwa Tshivhengwa, was welcomed into the STH Golden Circle Alumnus.
Brandon is a passionate, expert hotelier who joined CLHG in 2015 as part of the groups Accelerated Development and Deployment Programme (ADDP), an improvement initiative that recognizes Black employees for fast-tracking in management positions. He rapidly showed that he had what it takes to end up being a general manager of his really own hotel in 2018. His profession has been in positions of management and management over the last eleven years at different unit levels and his certifications, in addition to his Hospitality Management degree, include many accreditations.
When making the award, Karen Borain on behalf of STH said, “The award of STH Rising Star is in acknowledgment of Brandons emerging contribution to the South African tourist and hospitality market and for serving as a standard against which future-fit tourism and hospitality leaders are developed. As an STH alumnus, he routinely offers back to the trainees.
