“All the problems of the world on one hand – and a glass of Chenin in the other”

Ken Forrester started a career in the Hotel industry with Southern Sun, in the early days of Sol Kerzner, back in 1977, after a 3-year course in Hotel Management at the Johannesburg Hotel School.  He then went on to specialise in the restaurant trade, buying a share in one of the best restaurants of the day in the centre of Johannesburg, and from there a string of other restaurants and related activities culminating in being elected Chairman of the Federated Hospitality Association of SA (FEDHASA).
