The FCSI UK&I noticed many new consultants starting their own businesses and wanted to offer them support and advice as they begin their journey.
‘Lessons from the experts – the information every consultant wished they knew when they started’ was hosted yesterday (7 June) by Mark Taylor who recently launched Bloom Foodservice.
Chair of FCSI UK&I Julian Edwards from GY5, Giovanna Grossi at Sauce Intelligence, Louise Wagstaffe from Delicious by Design and Ken Winch from Ken Winch Design shared their stories and answered consultants’ burning questions. The free and inspiring session is available to watch online at www.fcsi.org.uk.
Edwards, chair of the FCSI UK&I, said: “I understand that taking the leap of faith to become a hospitality consultant can be a daunting and stressful time. However, it can also bring many rewards and exciting opportunities.
“We believe associations can achieve a great deal by working together and are proud to work alongside the Institute of Hospitality and Craft Guild of Chefs to bring new hospitality consultants this online toolkit.
“It’s packed full of content designed to equip people with all the knowledge they need to develop their own consultancy. The resources and events are aimed at anyone who already runs a consultancy, has just started one during the pandemic or those considering it and wanting to understand more about taking those next steps, either now or in the future.”
On Wednesday 9th June, consultants can visit the FCSI website to listen to a webinar on ‘How to find new work opportunities and get the most out of networking’.
