Holly Langan, Ritz Academy Trainee Why did you choose The Ritz Academy and what stage of the programme are you at? I saw it as a great opening for me to start my career into the hospitality industry, and what better place to begin! For me, The Ritz is such a legendary and iconic hotel. I’ve just finished my first year in the programme and so I am a third of the way through. There are lots of opportunities to progress into management once I have completed the three-year Academy.
What’s your experience so far? I was in Housekeeping for my six months as a maid, servicing the rooms. I worked on all of the floors, which gave me really useful knowledge of all the rooms and suites we have. That has been useful in other departments such as Reservations when describing the rooms to Ritz clients. Currently, I am within the dining reservations team, which is my first role as part of food and beverage. On average I will make about 100 reservations a day across the Ritz Restaurant and for afternoon tea in the Palm Court.
What do you enjoy the most? I love interacting with people in different departments and seeing how all of the elements come together to create the magical Ritz experience.
What would you say to someone who wants to follow in your footsteps? I’d jump at the opportunity to be part of such a wonderful team – The Ritz is really like a family.
