Career Path: Hall Porter > Management Training Scheme > General Manager (age 26) > Managing Director
“I was trained within all departments which helped me to get my first management position."
My Story: I started working in the hotel industry part time when I was 13 as a hall porter. When I left school I embarked on a management training scheme within a hotel. After training within all departments I took on various management positions throughout the UK. At the age of 26 I got my first General Manager Position. For eight years I managed three hotels before starting my current job as Managing Director for the Peter Michael Collection. I now spend a lot of time on various committee groups for both the local community as well as for the hospitality industry.
Funny Story: We once dropped a wedding cake in front of the bride - oops!
