About Jon Hartley

Something new for the coaching industry has been set up by Jon Hartley, the ex Hotel Contractor for Wallace Arnold and Account Director for the InterContinental hotel Group.

Jon Hartley Solutions aims to go to small and mid sized coach and holiday operators to add even more to their contractors skills.

“ Everyone is on a learning curve, but a contractor can only go on what they were taught originally, or have picked up during their career. "

Jon used to contract over a million bednights every year in the UK for almost twenty years for Wallace Arnold, and has a reputation for his honesty and plain talking.

“Compare this with the best driver a coach operator has. He has an introduction speech he has honed over the years, and this has been bettered by including or excluding phrases he has heard from other drivers. How can a contractor, working alone, better their skills?”

Jon plans to offer PowerPoint Presentations, One to One, and One to Team sessions to share his knowledge and ideas. “ No, I am not God’s gift to Contracting, nor am I trying to teach my Granny to suck eggs” states Jon, “ My only wish is to share some of the knowledge I have built up in my 40 years in Travel and Tourism, and to enable contractors to try and obtain better deals in the future”

Jon Hartley Solutions has already been used by several operators to good effect on word of mouth recommendation, and is looking forward to working with many more.

Jon is also a 'Life Governor' of the RNLI and continually supports their work.

"The RNLI is the charity that provides a 24-hour lifesaving service around the UK and Republic of Ireland. Our lifeboat service in the UK receives no government funding .As a charity, the RNLI relies on your support to carry on saving lives at sea. Your support is vital in training and equipping our volunteer lifesaving crews."
