Summary

I've been a hard working chef over the last 9 years and have decided to take a change,


Over my time being a chef I've achieved many different personal goals, I've lead kitchen teams as a sous whilst the head chef has been away , I've maintained stock levels to reduce wastage and maximise profit.

I strive to achieve what is expected of me by my employer to the highest possible level.

I'm a hard worker and very dedicated to working to provide for my family
