I was welcomed into the hospitality industry in the summer of 2020, right in the middle of the pandemic, after being made redundant from my career in travel. Like many in the world at this time I was feeling pretty lost in what to do, but my experience has been nothing short of

amazing since joining hospitality; meeting inspirational people, attending events, networking, representing a respected tech company, and learning so much about the sector. 

There are so many career opportunities in hospitality that can up-skill those seeking a new start. It’s certainly taken me on some wild and wonderful journeys I hadn’t anticipated. I want this opportunity to be available for more people who are faced with far worse challenges in life.

So I think it’s time to dust off my bike and get pedalling to support in raising money and awareness for two amazing charities!

Riding over 450km from the west to east coast of Sri Lanka, riders from across hospitality will take on tricky terrain and long distances for 'Pedalling For Pubs 2023' to raise money and awareness for 'The Licensed Trade Charity' and 'Only a Pavement Away', who support people who work in the pub and hospitality industry in so many ways.

Wish me luck and donate what you can! :)
