I'm recruiting a Group Executive Chef for a leading independent contract caterer, looking for an exceptional chef to influence food, people and standards across a growing national portfolio.

Personality is really important for this one.
We're looking for someone warm, engaging, energetic and down to earth . Someone who can walk into another Head Chef's kitchen and make them feel supported rather than inspected.
You'll be just as comfortable cooking alongside a CDP as mentoring an Executive Chef or presenting to a board-level client . You'll be curious about food, eat out, follow what's happening in restaurants and bring that energy and inspiration back into the business.
This is a brilliant next step for someone with multi-site experience who wants more influence, national exposure and a genuine route into future senior culinary leadership.
