Our Mission.
Our Vision.

A Memorable Start
Judith Corney established Hospitality Development and Education in 1991, with the objective to develop skills in the hospitality industry.
HITB Trainee of the Year
HDE trainees won the HITB trainee of the year awards in 1992 and 1994 and were runner up in 1993. Previously, disadvantaged people were set as the target population and it still, prevails.
Restauranteering
HDE took a bit of a back seat, as we concentrated on running our own restaurants and opening new business opportunities. Our passion has always been to enable those who can't, and has never changed.
Scale Expansion
HDE has, as such, trained more than a thousand delegates, which include employees, unemployed persons and business owners. Several Bed & Breakfast establishments, Restaurants, Fast Food outlets and Bakeries were opened under the supervision of HDE.
