Tell us a bit about yourself and how you’ve


come to where you are today? "I grew up in a small town in Essex. After school I wanted to be a fireman, but since I had to wait until I was 18 to apply, I decided to go to catering college at 16 with a few friends. This was the first time I’d really enjoyed anything like that; I didn’t enjoy school too much, whereas catering college was hands on and practical, and I loved the camaraderie."
