“I once read that if you really enjoy your job you will never do a days work in your life
I can honestly say that if I won the lottery tomorrow I would still come to work. No amount of money could replace the feeling of achievement that my job brings to me every day of my life"
My Story: When I get out of bed in the morning I cannot wait to get to work. You see I have the best job in the world. I run The Goring - the last great privately owned hotel in London. During my holidays I worked in hotels and restaurants around the country. When I got to London I found myself working in a small but well regarded restaurant in Kensington. Following a few moves I finally came to The Goring in 1990 and started as the Restaurant Manager. Almost 20 years on I am still here - only now I run the company.
Our customers range from Kings, Queens, Presidents and Prime Ministers through to the more ordinary folk like us.
Funny Story: I will always remember the couple who got caught having sex in the bath and had got stuck together!!
