Teaching Fellow, Strathclyde Business School

Financial literacy is now an essential leadership capability across hospitality. Managers are making decisions every day that directly impact profitability, yet many have never been formally trained in how to interpret or apply financial data.

“This programme has been designed to demystify finance and give hospitality leaders the tools, frameworks and confidence they need to understand performance, challenge assumptions and drive stronger commercial outcomes.

“It’s not about turning managers into accountants – it’s about enabling better, more informed decision-making across the business.”
