We have some real superstars in the York & North Yorkshire Hospitality Junior Board and so far have met Chloe Robinson, Tom Howes, Sophie Baker Assoc CIPD, Adam Atkinson, and Jasmine Iley.
Now we get to meet Olly Longbottom, Restaurant supervisor at the The Star Inn, Harome.
We caught up with Olly and asked him about his career to date and why he loves hospitality!
"I’m Olly, I’m 24 years old, and an example of what Yorkshire has to offer! A lover of sports, hiking and all things hospitality. I completed a degree in mixology in Austria, followed by a few years at the Pheasant, where I completed my WSET level 2 (wines and spirit education). Now I work at the Michelin star Gastro pub, Star inn at Harome, usually involved anywhere there is cheese and wine!"
Its great having you on board Olly Longbottom - you bring so much passion, dedication, and skill to the Board. I also think you are the first person who probably loves cheese as much as I do 😀
Hospitality is hugely undervalued and misunderstood - nationally and regionally. However we believe what we do regionally is what matters and now that the York & North Yorkshire Combined Authority is in place the region can really get behind this most valuable sector - valuable in terms of economics, people, and place.
