‘Loved by everyone’: industry mourns Leila El Enjari, RKF vice president
POSTED 10 Jul 2018 . BY Jane Kitchen
Leila El Enjari, who was just 37 years old, had worked for RKF since she was 22
Leila El Enjari, vice president of luxury spa linen supplier RKF Group, died in a tragic car accident on 4 July. She was 37 years old.

Leila El Enjari had worked for RKF for the past fifteen years, starting her career there when she was just 22. She worked her way up through the company, and in her most recent role, was responsible for coordinating RKF’s international projects and helping to build the brand’s reputation in the international hospitality industry.

On the day she died, she had taken off work to look after her mother, who was also killed in the accident.

Leila El Enjari leaves behind her husband, Issam, who also works for RKF, as well as their three young children, age 3, 5, and 11. Her sister, Heidia, and brother, Oilid, are also employed at RKF.

“Leila impacted every single person she met with her professionalism and her cheerful personality,” said Riadh Bouaziz, chair and CEO of RKF. “She was a central pillar in our group. She was loved by everyone who met her – employees, clients, suppliers and partners. Her memory will remain forever etched in our hearts, and her joy for life is something we will need to carry on. The whole team of RKF Luxury Linens sends its most sincere condolences to her family.”
