## Resource

Declan Sloan, a bartender from Kilmarnock, just blew the hospitality world away by winning the prestigious Front of House Champion title at the Nestlé Professional Toque d’Or — a UK-wide crown for top service talent. After rising from bar back while studying at Ayrshire College, he crushed the London finals with flawless customer service, mixology, leadership, and sustainability skills — all while proving that unexpected paths lead to greatness. Already a multiple award winner, including gold at last year’s TUCO, Declan’s mom’s words — “you’ve got nothing to lose” — turned out to be the spark he needed. When his name was called, he was stunned — but his win? Totally earned. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
