The Guest
Hospitality isn't just my profession; it's a part of who I am. Growing up and carving a career in London, I've been immersed in one of the world's most bustling hospitality scenes. My story in this industry began with hands-on roles, where I quickly learned that success in hospitality is all about understanding people and their unique needs.
For 16 years, I was at the helm of my own 5-star Hospitality Recruitment business. This experience wasn't just about business growth; it was a journey in understanding the heartbeat of the industry – the people who make it thrive. I've always been fascinated by the stories, the challenges, and the triumphs that come with a career in hospitality.
In 2023, my podcast, previously known as "Timothy Put The Kettel On," evolved into "Talking Hospitality." This change was more than a rebrand; it was a natural progression of my desire to share the wealth of knowledge and experiences I've gathered. The podcast is my way of giving back to the industry that has given me so much. It's a platform where I can engage with fellow professionals, discuss trends, and explore the future of hospitality in a relaxed, conversational style.
