apprentice in 2012 and five years on, she is a well-respected, senior member of the Pastry kitchen team, supporting and leading a team of 16. Having been previously made Employee of the Year, Hope is dedicated to both the team and nurturing the family atmosphere, and to the quality and consistency of the products that we serve, including our much-cherished afternoon tea. “Apprenticeships are the best


way to get in to the kitchen, the training is hands-on, and you learn a great work ethic from day one. When I joined the team I had no experience and was given an opportunity based on my passion – being able to learn and develop is what an apprenticeship is all about. The experience here is well-rounded. There are few places with pastry kitchens this big and you are working with high-quality ingredients. I have had exposure to a variety of sections and skills as everything that goes on our plates is made in-house. As a leader I want to encourage creativity at all levels; having the chance to present a dish that you have created yourself is very rewarding.

“My advice to anyone looking to


start their career within hospitality is to be enthusiastic and ask questions. Curiosity and a good attitude pays off!”


Vaida Kaleckyte, Senior Floor Housekeeper, The Berkeley Vaida is one of those talented


superstars who walked through our doors in October 2011 as a Room Attendant. Her hard work paid off and last year she was promoted to Senior Floor Housekeeper. “My own personal development shows that you can have a very exciting career within Housekeeping if you put your mind to it, are passionate, committed and, of course, are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty,” she says. Having recently undergone


months of room renovations, every detail at The Berkeley combines style and quality. “This is so important when we talk about service,” says Vaida. “Exceptional service can come in the smallest packages: a personalised note on a perfectly crisp pillow, a guest’s favourite soap in a bathroom of fine Italian marble. Of course, exquisite service is only possible when your team knows your guests! I am very proud of the team I have been part of and what we have achieved.”
