Penny's rise through the ranks
Snippet Title

With each step, from waiter to supervisor and eventually Assistant Manager at a Loch Fyne in Beaconsfield, Penny’s unwavering dedication and ambition shone through. But her journey didn’t stop there.
Penny’s career at Greene King is not just a progression, but a profound transformation. It reflects her ability to evolve, learn and diversify her skill set whilst working across various roles and brands within Greene King. In the dynamic world of hospitality, where every day brings new challenges and interactions, Penny finds her passion and fulfilment.
