| Wrath - What makes you angry about the hospitality industry?
Bad service - there is just no excuse for it, but you get many excuses! No matter at what level we operate at, service is at the heart of everything. Whether in a diner of an exclusive resort it has to be what customers expect and more.
Greed - If all your food fantasies came true what would be on your Plate?
I am very lucky (or not) to eat out most evenings. So I have few food fantasies left! But I love game and so the shooting season brings me the best Grouse right now.
Sloth - What do you do to unwind?
I don’t really unwind, the iPhone is forever vibrating! However I did just come back from Jumby Bay in The Caribbean. It was exquisite, private island off Antigua, no cars and enough space to find your own paradise.
Pride - What are you most proud of?
Making my father proud, he was a wonderful hotelier and was so supportive and proud of my achievements.
Lust - Is there anything that you are still lusting to achieve?
Always after something! Are we ever satisfied in this day and age?
Envy - who are you most envious of?
People who can retire early!
Gluttony - have you ever over indulged?
Quite often, but then life is short and you have to live it, as if today was the last!
