Interesting Fact:

Much to my daughters’ surprise, I won the much-coveted ‘Sportsman of the year’ during my younger, fitter days at school.

Hospitality:

My career in Hospitality started as a waiter and sommelier whilst studying Hospitality Management at college. Soon after I graduated, my focus took a leaning towards the kitchen and for 13 years I was lucky enough to work with some amazing, inspirational Chefs in venues up to 2 Michelin stars.

When I decided to hang up my whites, the logical step was to use my experience and passion for hospitality in a different way. In April 2001, I moved into Hospitality Recruitment and never looked back.

I love the industry and more so the people who work within it. My love for food has remained and I will always be a passionate foodie.

Social:

I love the outdoors and sport but too many injuries and lack of talent have put an end to my days on the pitch. Now it’s all about my family and friends and spending time with my wife enjoying long walks in the country or down by the coast (the perks of living in Dorset).

Recently my daughter has got me into Paddle Boarding which I really enjoy, it’s an activity we can do together as I can no longer keep up with her on a tennis court.

Why Platinum:

I’ve been in Recruitment for 20 years, helping others find the right job and over that time the principles of a successful placement have always remained the same. Find great people that inspire, within a fantastic company culture that compliment and reward hard work.
After spending time with the Platinum team, it was obvious our principles were aligned in how we believe recruitment should be conducted. We both act with the highest integrity and put our clients and candidates at the forefront of what we do.
Over the years, Platinum has continued to grow and welcome new talent. I believe their ethos and my experience will allow an amazing collaboration and offer me the platform to achieve everything I’ve set my mind too.

That’s “why Platinum”.
