Welcoming Gouqi London and their team into the IoH Company Sponsored Membership Scheme, IoH CEO Robert Richardson FIH MI, congratulated the new members on joining the IoH family: “We are delighted to have this new talent on board and I am particularly encouraged to see Gouqi London and so many other employers turn to the Institute to help improve professional standards across the industry.”
Sam Coulstock FIH, IoH Head of Professional Development, who oversees the Scheme said: “I share Robert’s enthusiasm. As an employer, it is great to see Gouqi commit and demonstrate to their team and brand, that they support and encourage continuing professional development in the hospitality sector. It speaks volumes about their mission, vision and values.”
Alan Tang MIH, Restaurant Director at fine-dining Chinese restaurant Gouqi London said: “Gouqi joined as an IoH Company Sponsored Member as we believe in promoting hospitality as a career of choice, a profession and a vocation to our employees. We believe that now is the perfect opportunity to inspire hope, show resilience, nurture the best talent, and lead the team into the future.”
He continued: “The IoH offers a massive opportunity to meet, mentor, or be mentored by high-profile industry professionals, learn new skills and network with like-minded people. The wealth of experience and resources available will allow the team at Gouqi to maximise their potential and take their career to a whole new level.”
As Alan explained, since he joined the Institute last year, he has had many doors opened to him: “I wanted my team to have the benefits that being an IoH member has provided to me since I joined. It has made me step outside my comfort zone, attend many networking events, become a public speaker to hospitality students, participated in podcasts, and shared my career journey with others. I enjoy that it provides both personal and professional development, and promotes equality, diversity and inclusion. Everyone is super friendly and welcoming at the events, and it’s great to meet so many other people that are passionate about hospitality.”
