Vicky Glover

Vicky Glover brings decades of hospitality experience and a deep commitment to people development to her role as Apprenticeship Director — helping operators maximise apprenticeship funding and build careers, not just fill jobs. Her professional journey started on the frontline, and from there she has carved out a niche as a specialist in recruitment, learning and development, and apprenticeship strategy within hospitality.

Vicky’s expertise centres on helping businesses optimise their apprenticeship levy, use government-funded training effectively, and design programmes that genuinely retain and develop talent. She’s known across the industry for her practical insight into how levy investment can be turned into real skill growth — something many operators find hard to navigate.

She’s a visible advocate for hospitality as a career with long-term potential and champions initiatives that elevate the industry’s workforce. Beyond her apprenticeship focus, Vicky is an active supporter of organisations like Only a Pavement Away — a charity helping people with barriers to employment find meaningful roles in hospitality — and is regularly involved in sector-wide communities like Beers & Peers.

On Talking Hospitality, Vicky cuts through the confusion around funding and training with clear, experience-rooted insight. Her perspective helps leaders rethink how they invest in people — not just as a compliance exercise, but as a strategic advantage in tough labour markets.
