Why do you enjoy working at Skippers?
I love working at Skippers because it’s a completely different environment to what I am used to. Working normal hours is a big attraction for someone used to working all hours! The atmosphere here is great, the people are great as are the kids. I also enjoy people appreciating my cooking  and watching them try my food.  I enjoy encouraging  the kids and staff to try things that they maybe not get at home. There is something about the Skippers family that just ticks all the boxes for me. I have a great team around me who understand what we are trying to achieve here at Skippers.

An interesting fact about yourself
An interesting fact about me is that I  played semi professional cricket for Kent county cricket club coming up through the junior ranks from the age of 13 all the way to the senior mens second eleven.

Tell us something you are most proud about?
Something I am really proud of is my cooking background, I trained at Boodles, a Gentlemans club in Piccadilly which at the time was one of the most prestigious clubs in the  world. Ian Fleming as well as ex prime ministers were all members there at one time. I received an amazing training which covered all areas of a chefs knowledge, including butchery, fish, soups, sauces and deserts.
