Graduates 2022
Georgia
Graduate 2022
Georgia has the kindest soul, her loving and caring nature has a way of making you feel at home and making you feel as if you are a part of her family. But don’t let that fool you, she is a true professional, she has the determination to always improve and learn new skills. She loves interacting with guests on her breakfast shift which has proven to be her favorite…although we are certain she wouldn’t mind if breakfast started a bit later! The early mornings aren’t her favorite part of her shift. Georgia also has a creative side, she is a talented singer and dancer and you will often find her creating dances with her fellow trainees.

Jacob the Quiet achiever, well that’s until you get him talking. Patient, kind, funny are just a few words we like to use to describe Jacob.
