About Ardita

Twenty years, two worlds.

Twenty years managing large, complex teams and budgets — split between corporate leadership in sales and IT consulting, and a decade building Mio Fiore: two restaurants and a coffee shop across Newbury and Hungerford.

I coach the way I lead: direct, hands-on, and grounded in what's actually happening in the business.

How we can work together

Ongoing Leadership Coaching — Monthly

For independent business owners who want someone in their corner, not just a scheduled call once a month — whatever industry you're in. We start with a deep-dive onboarding session to map out where you're actually stuck — culture, financials, hiring, whatever it is — then I'm on call for it.

  • 60–90 minute onboarding session to map out where you're stuck
  • One 45-minute strategy call every month
  • Priority WhatsApp support between calls — the 11pm "a manager just quit, what do I do" moments included
  • 3-month minimum, then month-to-month — cancel anytime

Starting at

£297/month

For multi-site operators or larger teams, pricing is custom based on scope.

For conferences, hotel groups & multi-site operators

Speaking & Workshops

Twenty years in corporate leadership. A decade building Mio Fiore from one site into three — two restaurants and a coffee shop across Newbury and Hungerford. That's exactly why hotel groups and multi-site operators bring me in — I speak on the two things most operators are quietly getting wrong: culture and financial control.

Fixing Hospitality Culture

Why your best people are leaving, and how to keep them.

The Daily P&L Playbook

Using your P&L to manage the business and tell its story — from one site to a hundred.

Leading From the Floor

What corporate leadership gets wrong about hospitality.

30–45 minute keynotes, extendable to half-day workshops. For conferences, leadership teams, hotel groups and multi-site operators.
