Penventon Park Hotel

It’s fantastic to see Lisa, our Learning & Development Lead, and Nick, our Executive Head Chef, making an impact by sharing their expertise with students at Truro and Penwith College! From inspiring career advice to practical insights on thriving in hospitality, we’re proud to support the next generation of professionals. 👏

We're proud to be supporting Kernow Conservation CIC this year. Their wildlife reintroductions and conservation of Cornwall's biodiversity are integral in creating a sustainable future for Cornwall. We look forward to supporting them and can't wait to see more of the great work they do.

We couldn't be happier to host work experience placements every year and it is always nerve racking for the students during the first few days and this students resillience has really shone through. Although I dealt with this on the day it really is down to the teams that make them so welcome, at ease with great instruction so they have a great first taste of the world of work and a positive experience.

Up next in our coffee catch-up series is Agris our Bar Manager. For those who visit often, you'll know his unforgettable personality. This week we sat down with him to delve into his journey in hospitality, his pivotal role as Bar Manager, and to get an exclusive look at our exciting new venture: The Wine Tasting Rooms. Here is a snippet: "The room is pretty much finished and it looks absolutely stunning, all I can say is ‘wow’. We’ve already hosted a private event and saw it in all of its glory. It was jaw-dropping. The lights, ambience, the temperature, everything just fits down there. The job now is getting it opened and used. I can already imagine the dinner parties down there and the stories and memories that will be made." Read the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/dwviNqjV

Following on with our Coffee Catchups we spoke with Kevin, our Senior Duty Manager, to find out more about his role and responsibilities, and how he got started in his career. What’s your favourite part of your job? "Working with staff on the floor and trying to build them, trying to get the best out of them, and building up their confidence. I left school with no qualifications, but I had someone who believed in me, so they put me through my holiday park management course, my NVQ level 3 in Management. So when I see people who’ve got so much potential, I believe in them and help build up their confidence." Click here to read the full interview: bit.ly/3WQBPZ5

Introducing... Coffee Catch Ups, where over the next few months we'll be interviewing some of our amazing team members, talking about their roles and showcasing what they get up to day to day. First up is our Learning and Development Manager, Lisa. How long have you been doing Training and Development? How did you get started? "A friend actually told me about the Learning the Development job at the Penventon, and I’m so pleased that I went for it. It was a new role and no one really knew what it would look like or how it would develop. We’ve turned it into a real management and team development programme. So, not only do we have our online learning portal which is open to everyone, we also deliver training programmes on our policies and procedures so we’re building those skills and knowledge for managers to do their jobs better and train their teams better. Seeing that change in culture over the last two years has been amazing." To read the full interview click here: bit.ly/3Q8amOe
