Another character of long standing came to mind........ The rather fine gentlemen ( whose name I can never recall ) who owns the Bambu Bar and the hotel next door ( the Aytur, I think).
His daughter, Fidan, currently runs the Bambu but her dad was there for a very long time.
He is unfortunately disallowed from this award as he is now practically retired and can’t be said to be still working.
However, I think he would qualify for the Academy’s Lifelong Achievement award.
