RAHMİ GÜLTEKİN

The initiatives of our founder, who was born in 1934 and started trading in his hometown of Trabzon at the age of 20, ended with Funda Hotel, which is his biggest dream. Although hotel management is a profitable investment or a commercial step to be taken for many organizations and companies; Funda Hotel was founded by a businessman from Trabzon who left his hometown to earn money at a young age and who wanted to transfer all his investments to his hometown one day. Paşabahçe Dealership, which he started in 1954, then Gültekin Manufacturing, which he established in 1978, and Gültekin A.Ş., which he completed in 1993. It has been the most basic commercial steps taken for the Gültekin Otelcilik brand to be established in 2000. Thanks to all this commercial experience he gained, his businessman identity, his successful entrepreneurial aspect, which was rare in his growing up, and his right investments, his commercial life has reached the desired point thanks to Funda Hotel, which was opened in 2005. In this long marathon; He was always supported by his precious wife Sebahat GÜLTEKİN and his children Funda KEKEÇ, Hasan GÜLTEKİN and Ahmet GÜLTEKİN, who took him as an example not only as a father but also as a teacher. It's not just a business; He is fully aware that the way to realize his dream of establishing a home for his family, an investment that can be a root for his children and even his grandchildren not to leave their homeland, is not a good boss but a good teacher and not only for his children but for everyone who needs him, being a great, uncle, brother or even a father. reflected in his life. In this way; He became the brother of Rahmi to everyone who works in the companies, factories or other institutions where his business lives intersect at any point, and the grandfather of every employee who has served in the Funda Hotel, where he lives his dream.

When the founders of many companies are examined, it can be encountered with a full CV in terms of business and education. However, Funda Hotel, besides being the product of a very valuable and long commercial equipment, has become not only a commercial story, but also the dream of a family's father and the root that that family has rooted in its hometown, thanks to the paternalism and huge heart of our founder. Even though it was sometimes found strange because he always followed the truth in both his business life and his private life, and did not even accept anything he did not believe in; Thanks to every value he gives to his family, every word he teaches to his children, every understanding he shows to his employees, and every honesty he displays to others, he has succeeded in making a place in the hearts and lives of many people. Our founder, who is a person to whom greatness suits him best, passed away in 2018 as a great "father" in the way that suits him best, but he left behind a family he raised very well, a solid foundation and many memories that will always keep him alive. We remember him with love and longing. .
