  • Sodexho Sport and Leisure
  • Raymond Blanc
  • Being proactive
  • Regenerative Farming

  • Practical experience
  • The special Hospitality bond
  • The lessons of dogs

And so much more. I’m just going to say what needs to be said. We need more people with the passion and enthusiasm for Hospitality exhibited by Emeline. A massive thank you to her for bringing the thunder!

Enjoy!
