Shift Notes is here to better connect our NZ hospitality community and help each other access the stories, wisdom & experience of our great industry leaders.

Episode 2 welcomes our first ever interviewee: Charles Gillet @rarotongan_rum_renegade hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand. We specifically wanted to chat to Charles because we believe he is a person who not only represents his city and country with great pride, but someone we believe is a true mentor within our industry. Charles embodies hospitality and has done a lot to actively build up the Christchurch hospitality scene, and through his personal stories & the stories of Christchurch, we are reminded of how one can build resilience and overcome great challenges.
