Lizzie joined the Youth Council at the end of 2023 alongside five other young hospitality professionals. Since then, she has played a key role, joining her fellow committee members at IoH networking events, engaging with members, writing articles, and helping raise money for the IoH Bursary Fund. Her commitment and passion for the hospitality industry shows, and we’re thrilled to have her on board.
Lizzie told us: “I am delighted to be stepping into the role of Vice Chair of the IoH Youth Council, having thoroughly enjoyed the 14 months as committee member. I am looking forward to support our Chair in leading the Youth Council through another aspirational year as we grow and develop our outreach and achievements. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Marco for his legacy and inspirational leadership during his time as Vice Chair as well as the unwavering support he continues to give.”
Marco De Simone MIH has been on the committee since the launch of the Youth Council in 2021, stepping into the role of Vice Chair in 2022. In that time, Marco has demonstrated exceptional dedication and passion for the Institute and our industry, going above and beyond!
Marco expressed his gratitude for the past two years as Vice-Chair, telling us: “It has been an incredible privilege to be part of the Youth Council. Looking back, it is truly outstanding to see how far we have come. Organising and running our own networking and CPD events and webinars, attending and participating in events such as Passion4Hospitality and Above & Beyond, attending CPD round table discussions, hiring and training new team members, writing articles, and empowering others to step out of their comfort zones and take initiative, as well as fundraising to raise money for the IoH Bursary Fund and charitable organisations such as Hospitality Action. I am so proud to have been a part of this incredible journey.”
Marco remains a proud member of the Institute and our #HospitalityFamily will continue his involvement with the IoH. From all of as the Institute, thank you for your service!
