Each issue The Moodie Davitt e-Zine scours the world to introduce the real heroes of our industry – those who go the extra mile every day when serving the travelling public. This week's report comes from paradise, or perhaps the next closest place, Aruba. There we meet Dufry’s Maria Moya, who always enjoys giving her best and works with love and passion.

Employee: Maria Moya

Role: Sales assistant

Employer: Dufry Aruba

Employer’s comments: Maria has maintained a high standard of customer service by implementing the ‘Out in Front’ training she has received.

She has managed to accomplish and maintain her monthly targets and has ensured that the Aruba store is kept to the best of Dufry standards. This is a well-deserved nomination.

Maria's comments: “In the time I have been working at Dufry I have been empowered to excel myself to give the best customer service and increase our sales, together reaching our monthly goals.

“I would like to thank the Dufry Aruba team for their guidance. It has allowed me to continue giving the best of me.

Copper Dog is a Scotch whisky which sums up all that is good about Speyside. A combination of eight Speyside single malts, Copper Dog is deliciously fruity with a hint of honey and spice.
