A driven and compassionate leader, for the last two years I have worked at various locations as a consultant Head Chef, from a high-volume city-centre pub to a luxury boutique hotel. It has given me the opportunity to hone my key skills leading a team, implementing a strategy relevant to the site’s specific needs, and building a supply chain using local producers. My ability to join a department and understand the specific needs of the individual employees and those of the owners in a short period of time has proved invaluable here.
