Kensington Roof Gardens

I did that for two years.

And then I got a call in 2001 to say that Richard Branson was opening, reopening The Roof Gardens, which was across the street, and they needed someone with personality to go in for the opening, and would I like to be considered? And it was the best decision I ever made to, to move over the street to the Kensington Roof Gardens and do the reopening.

Um, and that was a joyful ...

Um, I didn't realize, you know, again, I've been exposed to many hotel groups and many big companies throughout my career, and in being able and lucky enough to work for the Virgin Group so early on, I didn't realize how much of a school that was gonna be for me.

Yeah.

And the r- the r- so I went in as the assistant manager of the opening of Babylon at Kensington Roof Gardens.

That was in 2001.
