Our People, Their Story

Violeta Sous Chef

I've always loved cooking, so joining Enhance perfectly aligns with my passion and career. It's more than just cooking - it's about managing pressure and thriving in a dynamic environment. Since starting with the Enhance team, I've gained greater confidence and learned valuable skills from different chefs. I highly recommend Enhance because they are professional and fair!

I've worked with Evolve intermittently for four to five years, from front-of-house to kitchen roles. With Autism, ADHD, and full-time studies, flexible support was hard to find - but Evolve suits me perfectly. I've gained skills, improved communication, adaptability and problem-solving alongside great colleagues, and keep returning because they genuinely care and promote growth.

I've been working with Evolve for the past year and have enjoyed working in a variety of environments, ranging from events to corporate catering. Working with Evolve has allowed me to have a better work-life balance thanks to the flexibility of shifts. The support and communication from my managers have been amazing and have given me the confidence to work anywhere!

Emma Front of House

I started as a catering assistant and have progressed to Team Leader roles. The variety of roles and locations helped me build confidence and develop key skills in communication, time efficiency, and problem-solving in fast-paced environments. My favourite aspect of Evolve is the flexibility-it allowed me to work around my studies, with amazing support from the team to create a plan that balanced both effectively.

I've been working with Evolve for just under a year and have loved the flexibility to choose when and where I work. After over a decade in hospitality, this balance is rare. I've met great people, learned something new every day, and strengthened my network for future full-time roles. Adam and the team are always supportive. I highly recommend anyone considering agency work.
