Voices of Leadership: Exclusive Interviews and Highlights from This Year’s Awards Ceremony

If you would like to hear more about this year’s awards ceremony, we had the opportunity to speak with our chairman, Alastair Storey. He shared his insights into the outstanding talent we saw among this year’s scholarship candidates and highlighted the continued support for and success of the Gold Service Scholarship, which has proven to be a significant platform for encouraging the next generation of hospitality professionals. His reflections illustrate how this event not only recognises excellence but also helps shape the future of the industry.

In addition to our conversation with Alastair, we spoke with Daniele Quattromini regarding his new role as food and beverage director at Claridge’s Hotel. We also caught up with John Davey, who shared his thoughts on the event. John’s perspective offers insight into the atmosphere of the ceremony as well as reflecting on his early career and what role it has played in showcasing the importance of hospitality.
