We’re incredibly proud of our very own Lecturer and Director of Employability - Zoe Monk, who has been named one of Boutique Hotelier’s 2025 Power List Young Trailblazers! 🌟

Zoe’s impact goes far beyond the classroom—she’s an unwavering source of guidance, a one-of-a-kind mentor, and one of the hardest working people we know. Her dedication to championing inclusivity, mentoring students individually and forging strong industry relationships ensures our graduates are set up for success in the hospitality world.

As the article beautifully states:

“Zoe has helped graduates secure roles at prestigious hospitality institutions, setting them up for future success.”

It’s also extra special to see two Edge alumni—Oliver Harris and Jess Oliver—featured alongside Zoe. All three developed their craft at Exclusive Collection, a testament to the power of investing in people and nurturing talent.

We couldn’t be prouder to see Zoe’s name on this prestigious list—and to know that she continues to inspire our community to aim higher, challenge norms, and embrace the future of hospitality.

Don’t mind us, we’re just reliving the Annual Students Conference from last week 😌

We spent the day in London touring the facilities of some of our hotel partners, followed by an exceptional lunch and panel sessions hosted at .

From all things diversity and being Gen Z in the workplace, to what the future of the industry looks like from Titans in the industry themselves, it was a day very well spent 🥂
