Hello

I'm Lily - an experienced restaurant GM & Operations Manager passionate about hospitality, and with a belief that many businesses in our incredible industry could benefit from a helping hand to fill in those extra hours you never find, to focus on the business side, for stronger long term success.​

​

Like many I started working in restaurants as a part-time job in my teenage years, always loving it but I didn't imagine it would be my career.  When I moved to London for university I started at Quo Vadis, where I made some life-long friends and had my eyes opened to some of the best in the UK hospitality business.  I did a sandwich degree and worked in marketing for a chemical distribution firm, staying for over 2 years through my final year of study and beyond.  For various reasons I fell out of love with the job, and at that stage made a choice, rather than looking for something else in cosmetics, I chose to return to hospitality, and haven't looked back since.  That said, as I have progressed through my career, lucky to work at brilliant restaurants that would be considered 'on the map', I found myself increasingly surprised or sometimes even frustrated by the lack of business planning and cohesion that was sometimes present.
