“As I had not worked in the serviced apartment sector before, I was particularly looking forward to this opportunity to build on my hotel-focused work experience. “After a year, I had worked in four


London properties and explored five departments, allowing me to develop my skills as well as understand how rewarding this sector can be. “The serviced apartment sector has been growing immensely as there is a growing market for convenience and comfort while travelling, working and relocating, and serviced apartments offer exactly this – often with better value for money.”
