Level 3 Food and Beverage Service student Sam Berry has secured full-time employment at Gleneagles Hotel, the luxury spa and golf resort in Scotland.
Sam will begin his career as a commis waiter in the hotel’s main restaurant, The Strathern, where he will serve customers and help with formal business events and private functions.
He will receive on-the-job training with the aim of winning promotion to the role of restaurant manager.
Sam said: “I received an email from my lecturer, Andrew Bisconti, which let me know of the opportunity. It appealed to me straight away and, after speaking with my lecturers and my family, I decided to apply for the role.
“I’ve lived local to Birmingham all my life, so a move to Scotland is a very big change. However, it was too good an opportunity to pass up and my lecturers have been very supportive.”
