Vincent Vermeulen is a man who embodies what it means to live and breathe your craft. Having spent his years learning how to perfectly tend to others, he became a star-studded butler upon whom any and all can rely. Now, he’s the Founder of the School for Butlers & Hospitality – a prestigious establishment that’s proud to educate the butlers of tomorrow. Additionally, Vincent doubles as a fantastic keynote speaker whose presentations on hospitality and enhancing the customer experience never fail to inspire and amaze.
From the beginning of his career, Vincent has always had a fascination for hospitality. Beginning as a Kitchen Intern, Vincent would go on to become the Owner of Gastronome, and then Owner of Feestzaal De Grote Schuur. In doing so, he came to understand the meaning of fine dining, and started to incorporate what he had learned into his training to become a Butler. In 2002, he stepped up to become a Trainee Butler at Lanesborough Hotel, and was quickly taken on as a Butler for a Private Family. What followed was a career filled with success and a clear adoration for delivering the highest level of hospitality. Between his work as a Freelance Butler in Belgium and France and his roles as both a Food and Beverage Manager and Consultant, Vincent was consistently excelling.
It all came to a head in 2012 when, after over two decades of accumulating hospitality experience, Vincent Founded the School for Butlers & Hospitality. Leveraging all he had learned, he became a mentor for aspiring Butlers, and his presence still makes waves across the industry to this day. Whether it’s thanks to his fascinating keynote speeches or his avid dedication to each and every student in his care, Vincent is the very definition of a field expert.
This is what makes Vincent such a compelling and sought-after speaker. Not only does he have well over three decades of time spent in the hospitality sector, but he also brings an energy and passion to his presentations that audiences simply can’t get enough of. Poise and grace come hand in hand when it comes to Vincent, and listeners will no doubt feel it from the moment he starts speaking.
