Peter has been a Hospitality Assured accredited training provider since its inception in 1998.

With a background based in operational management Peter has practical experience of the issues facing catering organisations and businesses that have aspirations to achieve accreditation. He has assisted charities, charitable trusts, hotels, local authority departments and commercial enterprises through the self-review process.

Peter’s objective is to ensure that at the end of his initial involvement everybody who has attended understands where their organisation is at the time of the review, where they want to be and how they are going to get there.

Every client is provided with their own completed draft Self Review and an Outline Action Plan. If the Action Plan identifies the need for further external support he will be delighted to advise whatever is required.

Many clients request that Peter returns just before they apply for accreditation in order to facilitate a further swift review to confirm that they are ready for assessment.
