Previous Experience
Adele’s background is in hospitality, both private sector and local authority. Having successfully managed a variety of hospitality sites in the private sector, Adele’s focus moved towards public sector training and improvement, which lead to achievement of the Nottinghamshire Healthy Living Gold Award.
Having achieved many goals within both the private and public sector over a period of 15 years Adele decided to mentor others with the objective being to help fill the skills gap within the industry. One key aspect of this work has been the achievement and recognition of skills for people with much experience and no formal training or qualifications. Vocational training and assessment in the workplace has enabled others to reach their personal and business goals.
Personal Quote
“It is in my opinion a sad fact that many job roles are undervalued in society, and I aim to ‘do my bit’ to help change this by recognition of skills, which will in turn raise the profiles and increase the confidence of the people who currently perform these tasks”.
