“I’m very proud to be asked by Speakers4Schools to go and say a few words at Wexham School. The opportunity to speak to young adults and the next generation of our great workforce and to be able to tell them a bit about the exciting and incredible opportunities that hospitality can give them. If it inspires just one person into looking a little deeper into the hospitality industry as a chosen professional, then it’s been a well spent morning!”
