Gecko Hospitality Opens First International Office in Scotland

Fort Myers, FL, July 8, 2024 – Gecko Hospitality, the world’s premier hospitality management recruiting firm, is proud to announce the opening of its first international office in Scotland. This new location will serve hospitality establishments and job seekers across the country, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen.

This expansion marks a key milestone in the expansion of Gecko Hospitality. Over the past two years, the recruitment agency—in partnership with Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts and Auguste Escoffier Global Solutions, both part of Triumph Higher Education Group, LLC—has rapidly grown its network of recruiters, hospitality talent, and clients with the goal of broadening its international reach. The company plans to open more offices throughout the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland in the next few years.

“At Gecko, we understand the importance of hands-on recruiting in the high-touch hospitality industry,” said Robert Krzak, President of Gecko Hospitality. “Our growing presence in Europe allows us to better understand and meet the needs of each regional market. We are excited to strengthen our relationships with the Scotland restaurant and hospitality community, and increasingly tailor our recruitment solutions based on local demands.”

Gecko’s first franchise partner in Scotland, Patricia “Trish” Leckie, will leverage her four years of experience in the U.K. hospitality market to lead the international expansion. Her background includes management roles with a range of hospitality concepts—including Whitbread PLC, PizzaExpress, and Travelodge Hotels—as well as leadership positions with investment and consulting firms and her own successful business venture.

“Trish brings tremendous insight into the requirements of both large and small operators in Scotland,” Krzak said. “With her expertise, we are confident in our ability to deliver excellent recruitment outcomes to an array of hospitality businesses, from hotels to private clubs, and job seekers across departments.”

The Scotland office is actively available for recruitment support. Contact Trish at trish@geckohospitality.com to get connected to top-tier hospitality managers or premier employers in the Scotland area.
