Age 29
Position Claridge's bar manager, Maybourne Hotel Group
Nominator Michael Bonsor
Proudest career moment When the previous bar manager at Claridge's called me three years ago and told me that the position of assistant bar manager was mine (after four interviews).
Greatest inspiration I have been privileged to work with a few true leaders who have inspired me to do better. They are my inspiration and I try to inspire my team in the same way.
Ambition I would love to run a group of bars that have similar standards and ideals, maybe somewhere a little warmer, which I am sure my family would appreciate!
