Economic overview and salaries

Hampshire has many tourist attractions, from seaside resorts to stately homes. It is home to two national parks, the South Downs and the New Forest. The high number of hotels, holiday parks and conference centres means the county offers a diverse range of catering opportunities, particularly in the field of corporate hospitality.

At one of the many conference centres and large function venues, experienced hospitality managers will earn in the region of £35,000 per annum. Applicants for entry level roles would benefit from a City & Guilds qualification in Hospitality and Catering, or equivalent.
