In the first of our two chats with the Institute of Hospitality (https://www.instituteofhospitality.org), we got some time with outgoing CEO Peter Ducker.
No doubt Peter has forged an enviable career and we were honoured to have a chat with him ahead of his end of June departure from the Institute. As always, we got through a lot including:-
- Getting an early start
- Defying careers advisors
- Heading off to London
- Taking the road less travelled
- Having a mentor
- Moving into sales and marketing
- Starting capital breaks
- Moving into a public company
- Redundancy
- Starting your own business
- The rich tapestry of life
- Setting up a code of conduct
- Giving back
- Taking the IOH Reins
- Getting the house in order
- Catering for a Gibbon
- April fools
It’s a wonderful chat with a wonderful human and we wish Peter all the best in his next chapter.
Enjoy!
