Simon’s story

Springboard Programme: KickStart

Region: London

Year: 2018

Simon was always aspirational, but the young boy from Croydon ended up surrounded by the wrong type of people, and quickly found himself in trouble

"When meeting Simon his passion for the hospitality industry and his eagerness to join our team was evident. When completing his work experience we were delighted to offer him a full-time position within our night’s team where he continued to inspire our guests with his individuality and passion."

Hamid Nowab

Night Manager, Park Plaza

“I think Simon always had the potential, but needed the programme to give him the confidence to back that potential up. The course has opened up a door for him, which he has walked right through!”

Tony

Programme Manager, The Springboard Charity
