I just wanted to convey my thanks to all the team for inviting me along to such a wonderful event.
The event was very well planned and I was made to feel so welcome by both staff members and students alike. The networking breakfast was an excellent idea, I made contacts who shared experience and challenges we are all facing currently in the wonderful of hospitality.
Students were very polite, engaged, asked appropriate questions and had great focus on their future careers. I have reached out to several students regarding current vacancies, Industry placement years and part time careers.
Many thanks one again and I look forward to attending next year”
