I'm not going to lie, I'm a huge fan of the venue that today's guest leads.

I got some time with Andrew Coggings, Managing Director of Entertaining and Hospitality at the Goodwood Estate (https://www.goodwood.com).

It's an epic chat and we get through loads including:-

• The Festival of Speed
• The values of Goodwood
• Bottling selfies
• Growing up in Durham
• Going against careers advice
• The Caterer & Hotelkeeper
• Being headhunted to Hilton
• Moving to Dubai
• Being a forerunner hotel
• Moving to South Africa
• Using Rugby to get a job
• Being in SA for 1995 Rugby world Cup
• Pressurised refurbishments
• Harry Murray as a mentor
• Langkawi
• The importance of contracts
• Moving back to UK
• Doormats
• Slaley Hall
• Buying a pub
• Running a burger restaurant
• The Goodwood magic dust
• Trust & Respect
• The Duke
• Salman Rushdi and Rats
• Nelson Mandela and Photo’s

And so much more. Andrew treats us to many a story throughout his chat and I'm grateful for the time he gave me.

Enjoy!
