About

Involved in food and beverage from an early age. The love of the industry has taken me from 5 star hotels in London, working for The Maybourne Hotel Group serving the rich and famous as Banqueting Operations Manager, to the other scale of the industry in Airports where the demand is just as intensive but more emphasis on mass production, quality, innovations and cost control measures.
