Working in hospitality has given me so much confidence and an understanding of how to work to priorities. This has certainly helped me in setting up my own business. The key thing I have taken from working in the hospitality industry is to be passionate about what you do, and you will succeed. My ethos in everything I do is ‘pay attention to detail’ and this has really helped me get the business to where it is today.
Cecilia studied on the HND Hospitality Management at UHI Inverness.
