International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month

At Georgian House we place significant importance on developing individuals and providing equal opportunities regardless of gender,ethnicity or background and championing women plays a significant role in this. Partner at Georgian House and female trailblazer Serena von der Heyde has always been passionate about celebrating women’s successes, highlighting the issues women are still facing in industry and looking at ways we can create a pipeline of talent to enable more women to progress their careers at leadership level within hospitality. For us at Georgian House championing women begins by providing a diverse and empowering work environment with equal opportunities and development plans  in place to allow all team members to progress at Georgian House and beyond. 

 

Flexible working hours We understand the importance of being able to manage working hours and that this can be particularly difficult for working and single parents to manage.

With British Pie Week underway its time to show some respect for the humble British pie! Of course at Georgian House we feel the only plausible way to pay homage to such a dish is by consuming copious amounts of pie! But you haven’t made pie before I hear you say… how do you get the perfect flaky crust…prevent the filling from spilling… relax,  put your pyrex down because this British Pie Week we’ve teamed up with the experts to show us how its done. Piebury Corner began in 2011 as a food stall in Paul and Nicky Campbell’s front garden in Highbury, selling handmade gourment pies to Arsenal fans on route to the Emirates Stadium. Playing a vital role in fuelling football fans Paul and Nicky’s guerrilla marketing  quickly grabbed the attention of even the most ardent of fans.
