Hi Robert - It’s Douglas Butler, I did my 1 month placement with the torridon and I am  writing this e-mail to thank yourself and all the staff at the Torridon they made me feel very welcome. I learned a lot from your hotel i.e  First impressions always count I have taken more pride in what i look like in jobs and interviews.  I am now at College studying HND Hospitality Mangement. What I learned from The Torridon I have taken into my course and also my career in the industry.   I also learned from yourself and the rest of the managment team that I can acheive anything in life as before i came up to your hotel i had low self esteem but now that i have achieved one of goals in gaining experince in fine dining i am more proud of myself i can acheive anything and "aim high" which is one quote is going to stay with me for life.  I am also proud of the industry that i am in and making good progress in my career.  I learned so much from yourself and staff at the Torridon i cannot put it into words. Learned that the customer comes first in every occasion no matter what they ask for.  Also never say NO to a customer as at the end of the day they are paying our wages and giving us an excellent reputation.
 
Once again thank you so much for this invaluable experience I have some great memories from your hotel that is going to stay with me forever and for this thank you
 
Kind Regards
