Industry Partners

EP is proud to support and work with a number of industry associations and businesses by promoting their objectives and values through our various communication channels:

 

 

 

 

At the EDGE Hotel School history comes to life as Wivenhoe House, a once impressive 18th Century Grade II listed building, owned by the University of Essex is brought back to its former glory.

This transformation began with the University looking into restoring and refurbishing the house to create a hotel run on a semi-independent basis. Following a survey, it was discovered that a large investment would be needed to bring this dream to life.

Solutions were then sought on how the investment could be generated to restore the building and develop its future. The University found the perfect partner in the Edge Foundation who wanted to demonstrate a new way of delivering higher level practical and vocational education and the exciting idea to transform Wivenhoe House into the EDGE Hotel School was born. A Hotel School much needed by the industry and set to be the first of its kind in the UK.

Then, on 27 July 2011, it was announced that the hospitality education would be provided by the University’s academic partner Kaplan Open Learning.

 

 

HIT Scotland is a Scottish based charity which raises funds to support & encourage excellence in the hospitality Industry. Its mission is “to assist people to achieve their potential within Scottish hospitality”. For the last 16 years HIT Scotland has helped those training to enter the industry and those already within, to realise their full potential. This is achieved through practical support, including bursaries, scholarships, industry events and the Emerging Talent Conference.

The formation of the Master Innholders was the first step taken by the WCI towards renewing its old links with innkeeping. In common with many other Livery Companies it had few links with the modern day industry.

The award of membership is open to practicing hotel general managers by application each year. Full details can be viewed on the new members section. Candidates have to undergo a rigorous interview where they have to clearly demonstrate not only their innkeeping ability, but also continuing support for improving standards within the industry
