Working in the hospitality industry has allowed me to explore the world and have experiences I would never have dreamed of, growing up in a small village in Wales. It’s extremely important to share our experience and advice with these young ambitious students at this important early stage of their careers. They are the future generation of chefs and hoteliers. There has never been a better time to join the hospitality industry, and nurturing fresh talent is a big part of our responsibility for the future.”
