The job had many different aspects such as, producing a varied entertainments program for the day time and evening, directing and maintaining many high standard variety shows, performing high standard ‘TV game show like formats, comparing presentations, children’s discos and cabaret acts. One of the most important parts of this job in particular is having a high standard of customer service. In 2005 he was promoted to an Entertainment Contingency. This meant he had to travel around the Med to hotels that were either struggling to make their targets, missing entertainers, training new employeess and existing entertainers. He also had the task of slotting in to a team and fitting in to it almost at once, so that the team structure was left uncompromised. In 2006, His final season with 'Thomson Holidays' He was successfully promoted to Entertainment Coordinator for Lanzerotie and Fueraventora.
