Aspire’s David Collyer: my curry catastrophe at the Cinnamon Club
In a 'Square Mile and Me' interview, David Collyer, Global Senior Vice President at Aspire, shares personal and professional anecdotes from his career in hospitality and the City of London. He recounts his first job as a paperboy, his early role at WPP, and his passion for hospitality sparked by working with luxury brands. Collyer describes a memorable meeting at Enzo Ferrari's office and a business faux pas at the Cinnamon Club where he unknowingly ordered the hottest dish on the menu. He expresses love for London, advocates for free museum access, and shares his proudest moment winning an IHG Star award. Collyer offers career advice ('It's not signed until it's signed'), names his uncle as his inspiration, and reveals his ideal lunch spot at Coq d'Argent. He is optimistic about the year ahead and describes his weekend life at Ascot and Guards Polo Club.
