When I'm not knee-deep in hot sauce, i'm selling a great range of handmade, luxury preserves for Kitchen Garden Foods. Entirely business to business, I'm able to develop my sales and corporate skills while working for a great company.

I started in April 2015 in the kitchen as a production assistant, after moving back to Gloucester from Cardiff. This seemed like a fun role in a great company and was relevant to my own food business. My time in the kitchen allowed me to develop skills in large scale food production and time management. I also gained valuable experience in stock management, scheduled cooking and high level food safety.As my first role in business to business sales I was able to gain experience with CRM systems, invoicing and most other administrative aspects to selling. I was able to develop relationships with new customers as well as customer retention, attend and work at trade shows, experience face to face and telephone sales.

I embraced my role as the world's best chef from day one. I enjoyed my time at the Peppermint, where I had the opportunity to develop my professional cooking skills, food safety knowledge and expand my knowledge of the catering trade.I was also able to undertake training and pursued qualifications in professional cookery.

I joined in 2006 as a part time sales assistant and worked my way to a management position.
