Surinder Arora (Arora International) 

Surinder Arora started his career as an office junior at British Airways
while moonlighting as a hotel waiter. He invested all of his family's
savings in property, eventually developing a row of houses opposite
Heathrow airport into a large-scale bed-and-breakfast operation.

Following the demolition of the houses, it was on this site that his first hotel emerged in 1999 specifically for aircrews. In 2004, Arora international won the contract for a 605-bedroom, five-star hotel at Heathrow's new terminal 5 development.  The company currently has six directly managed hotels including sites at Gatwick, Heathrow and Manchester and around nine hotel developments in progress.
