Description

Throughout my time of running this humble little show, I've been introduced to people from all over the industry in various capacities. It's one of things I love the most.

Today's guest is inspiring hearts and minds on choosing a career in hospitality but is not just leaving it there, he's then facilitating connections to help get them the best start possible.

I got some time with John Holden, Food & Beverage Lecturer at Tameside College and Founder of Bridging the Skills Gap (https://www.btsg.org.uk)

We chat through:-

• Hospitality meets (Yay)
• Moving into academia
• Passing on the passion
• Moving to London
• Learning German
• Dealing with legal issues
• Starting in pubs
• Changing perspective
• Moving over to training
• Grabbing life by the balls
• Sliding doors
• Competitions
• Helping students
• Work experience
• Awful guests
• Being a good guest
• Striking up relationships

And so much more.

John's work is exceptional and I'd encourage anyone who wants to help give the next generation a great start in their career to reach out to him on Bridgingtheskillsgap@btinternet.com

Enjoy!
