HISTORY OF THE DAVID CAMPBELL TROPHY
The late David Campbell became Chef de
Reception at The Ritz Hotel, Paris, after
gaining a wealth of International
experience.
In memory of David and in
acknowledgement of his dedication and
passion to the industry, the International
Receptionist of the Year Competition
was formed, with a Trophy designed and
sponsored by the Paris AICR section, to
be presented each year.
Marcel Elbaz, Graham Bamford, Annie
Boslem and the AICR International
Committee members, worked together with
the International College of Hotel
Management in Adelaide, Australia,
to establish the rules and format,
launching the Competition in 1995.
Jane Renton continued these efforts
after Annie Boslem's departure two
years later. The International
College of Hotel Management in
Marcel David
Adelaide continues to have Elbaz Campbell
representation at to competition to
this day.
The Competition grows from
strength to strength each year and
has gained the respect of Hoteliers
and Sponsors. It meets its objective
as a training tool for the younger
generation and the future AICR and the
Hospitality Industry, with the emphasis on
“Amicale”.
