David Morgan-Hewitt, Managing Director, The Goring, London “ The opportunity to step back from your business and step into an intellectual environment does not come often – nor cheaply. This scholarship allowed me to really see the big picture. It was an important step in my personal development”
	Roberto Pajares, General Manager, The Selfridge Hotel, London “ Cranfield gave me an insight into how I was perceived by those around me and how you manage those perceptions to your advantage”
	Oliver J Q Brown, Director of Food & Beverage, Jumeirah Carlton Tower “ I was delighted to win a scholarship and it was a privilege to be given the opportunity to attend Cranfield’s Developing General Manager’s Potential course for 2 weeks. I am grateful to my employer to allow me the time off, to spend learning about myself and how my management style is perceived by others, and learning to manage that perception. At the time in my career this was exactly the development I needed as a Manager.”
	Paul Thompson, General Manager, Manor House, Castle Combe, Wilts “… it was this single event which took me from an operational and management mindset into a journey of developing strategic thinking and leadership”

	Tim Howard MIH, General Manager, Judges Country House Hotel “ I attended the 2002 GMP at Cornell and writing this nearly seven years later, its influence on my professional and personal lives continues to be hugely felt. As an overall experience it was utterly mind-blowing and it certainly changed my life for the better. I don’t imagine there is a better course out there and I would recommend it totally.”
	David Wilkinson MI FIH, Zeitgeist Projects (Europe and ME) "The opportunity to attend a two week Senior Management course at Cranfield in 2000 was a great privilege, and an intense and demanding experience which exposed me to senior executives from a host of other industries. It helped me to focus on issues which helped me both professionally and personally."
	Paul Brackley, Crowne Plaza London - The City "Successful completion of a Master Innholders Scholarship and winning a place at Cornell University allowed me the opportunity to take a step back from the day to day and be challenged in an internationally renowned learning environment. The General Managers Program provides a great opportunity for professional growth. I came away with plenty of new ideas and innovative ways of thinking that has added significant value when implemented with my team back on property.”
