Languages for Tourism and Hospitality

The benefit of languages in a restaurant chain is shared with students at Christ The King Catholic High School by Operations Director of Il Forno and Sapporo

Teppanyaki Restaurants in Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow, and Il Forno's

General Manager, Attilio.

Vince Margiotta was keen for his company to join the BLC programme and share his

experience with pupils in his local school. So, together with his General Manager at Il

Forno, he joined Cristina Sousa from RLN NW to deliver a series of lively

presentations to pupils at Christ The King Catholic High School in Southport last

September.

Vince and Attilio explained the benefit of languages and cultural skills in such

cosmopolitan restaurants as Il Forno and Sapporo Teppanyaki. In total, the restaurant

chain employs people from 15 nationalities, and serves visitors who come from all

over the world to visit Liverpool, Manchester and Glasgow.

Pupils and teachers enjoyed the presentations and said: 'It was brilliant!' and 'I didn't

realise how many jobs you need a language for!'
