Case study Jennifer Beamish Young, pastry chef, Principal York
“I am a 22-year-old pastry chef at the Principal York. I’ve been here for six months and think Principal is a brilliant company – everyone is so welcoming and caring. “I grew up in Cambridge and Darlington and I’ve been baking for as long as I can remember. The reason that’s so strange, when I think about it, is that my mum doesn’t bake and none of my family really like cakes! “I completed my kitchen
training at Cambridge Regional College, I’m passionate about learning and I spend hours doing research to improve myself and particularly to find out about international cuisines. “I am lucky to be in a
company that encourages me to develop my skills through my day-to-day role and one that provides plenty of on-the-job training.”
