The Traineeships team at Hostec would like to extend a very warm welcome to their newest addition – Vanessa Rider.

Vanessa has had a very colourful career history working within the Hospitality Industry and has worked in five star hotels both nationally and internationally throughout the last 15 years. Vanessa started in Food and Beverage Operations at the Regent in Sydney, completed a 2 year stint at the Regent in London, returned downunder to work in the Sydney Marriot for 4 years and then relocated to Mirvac Sebel in Melbourne as F&B manager.

Vanessa’s love for the Industry took her to Hong Kong where she worked at the Grand Hyatt as Training Manager/Assistant HR for 4 years. Feeling a little homesick, Vanessa once again returned downunder to work  in the Shangri-La as Training Manager and was soon moved to the HR Department.

After the long hours and extensive travel, Vanessa happily took a well earned 12 months off  to catch up on some R&R before deciding to return to full-time work. With all of her experience and know-how, Vanessa wanted to ”keep her finger in the Hospitality pie” so to speak and made the move to the Traineeships Department at Hostec.

We are delighted to have Vanessa join us and know that this will be the next great adventure in her career.
