Roger's life has centred around the hospitality industry since leaving school, commencing as an apprentice chef and rising up through the ranks to the position of operations director of 25 hotels both in the UK and overseas.
Following this he became the managing director of an executive search company specialising in the recruitment of executives and senior management for the industry internationally, until his retirement in 2014.
Having had a pacemaker fitted in 2014 and whose wife recently had heart surgery at the Royal Papworth, it made him realise that there are many similarities between the hospitality and hospital industries in the services provided.
