Oliver Brown - MI

General Manager

Wivenhoe House Hotel

General Manager of Wivenhoe House, Hotel, home to the Edge Hotel School (EHS). EHS is the only such hotel school in the UK that offers 2/3-year degrees in Hotel Management and Event Management, where the undergraduates work in a commercial hotel alongside their studies. Receiving a Master Innholder Scholarship in 2004 had a significant influence on my professional development, and came at a pivotal moment in my career. The alumni are very important to me and I was proud to be on the committee for almost 10 years, and Chairman for 2 years. As Chairman of the newly formed Hospitality Action committee in East Anglia, the focus has been on growing knowledge and support, and have been successful in recruiting some influential committee members. Always keen to support HA initiatives including the Back in Business Tour and Back to the Floor (2-5). Becoming a Master Innholder has been a great honour and I look forward to supporting events and meetings.
