This much I know: John Healy

I was driven by work… driven to run away from myself.

When I was in school, I had no idea what I wanted to do. I discovered my love of the hospitality sector completely by chance when I needed a summer job as a kid in the 80s and started working as a waiter in The Lord Bagenal Inn in Loughlinbridge, Co Carlow. I took to it like a duck to water. I’m an extrovert and really enjoyed being around people. They’re right when they compare it to being on stage. It’s a control thing. I still thrive on it — the showmanship of the thing.
