Hospitality offers better pay as it seeks to recruit new talent

The culture and conditions in hospitality settings have greatly improved as the sector seeks to attract some much-needed new talent, says leading hospitality manager

Hospitality is a career where you have more than a job, you really become part of a community.

The hospitality industry has something for everyone, says Laura Behan, general manager of Ballymaloe House in East Cork.

“Hospitality is a career where you have more than a job, you become part of a community that laughs together and picks each other up on the harder days. I've worked in several different establishments and have spent time abroad, and while hospitality is certainly tough, I wouldn't swap what I do for the world. “
