Ed Turner, Commercial Director for Young & Co’s Brewery and Managing Director of Geronimo Inns Limited delivered an interesting and inspirational presentation to students at School of Tourism. Ed previously worked as Retail Operations Manager for Mitchells and Butler for 10 years and clearly has a proven track record of managing, directing and leading successful businesses.
Ed shared the business that he loves and told of the latest trends in the industry and how it is changing. We are changing how we socialise, eat and also communicate and work. It is a tough climate but there are also many opportunities out there for those who are keeping up with trends.
The message he brought to the students was that it is personality that drives business and they should join companies with a personality. He is interested in working with and recruiting those who have a real passion for creativity, living life, fine food and those who are inspired by living outside of the box. “The people that are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do”.
