Careers in Hospitality returns to London this April

The Staff Canteen
Some of the biggest prospective employers in hospitality are set to join forces with respected industry professionals when Hotelympia’s careers fair, Careers in Hospitality, returns to London’s ExCel next month. Big names in hospitality such as Premier Inn, Wine & Spirits Education Trust, Gourmet Burger Kitchen, Holiday Inn and the Royal Air Force will be on hand to offer vacancies to fill and advice for those seeking employment. Toby Wand, Managing Director at Fresh Montgomery, said: “An intrinsic part of Hotelympia, and one that sets us apart from the pack, is a genuine focus on career development both for those candidates beginning their journeys and those with the desire for a new challenge. “We’re confident that we have the best ever line up at Careers in Hospitality 2014, offering a stunning collection of prospective employers. I urge anyone looking to set their career on the right track in 2014 to come along and gain inspiration.” No matter what stage of your career you are at, there will be plenty of advice with a series of free seminars from Springboard, Wine & Spirits Education Trust and the UK Housekeeping Association. Some of the highlights of the two-day event include chief executive of the Clink Charity, Chris Moore, discussing second chances in hospitality, and a culinary battle with a difference pitting Sara Edwards, HR Director of Tragus Group against Babylon Roof Gardens’ Peter Avis. Hot Talent April Partridge returns and will be sharing her experiences of two whirlwind years since being crowned as Hotelympia’s ‘one to watch’. She will also be staging a very special event bringing together influential industry leaders from the top hospitality businesses with young people to stimulate dialogue on employability skills, work experience and apprenticeships. Visitors wanting to attend on 28-29 April can go to the Hotelympia website and register now for a free ticket to Careers in Hospitality saving the £25 entrance fee.
