I was a management consultant with EY for 6 years advising multinational companies on how to become more profitable and serve their customers better before I moved to PTK because I am passionate about providing an excellent guest experience and because it makes sound business sense! I am an extensive world traveller, have lived in 14 countries and travelled to 77 others. I love North London for its feel of a village while being in one of the most diverse and vibrant cities in the world. As I am a local business owner and employ all my staff locally, I have passion and drive to succeed, and the knowledge, expertise and high-quality standards of the well-established Pass the Keys national brand support me. As a business owner and not just an employee, it is personally important for me to have you, my main customer, be happy and successful.
