What do you like most about working here?
I like the structure of the company. I think they really do believe in training and developing their staff and their teams and that’s one of the things I also believe in.

What makes someone successful here?
I think to keep learning and to be determined.

What do you think makes us unique as an employer?
Glendola has a portfolio of venues that range from pubs to restaurants, and to steak houses and coffee shops. I think if you are interested in the hospitality industry then Glendola is the company to work for and you can learn a lot.
