ABOUT ME
During my twenty years experience in hospitality I have gained a wealth of knowledge in Restaurants, Nightclubs and Bars, Hotels and as a Food to Go Expert. I was invited on stage at the MCA Food to Go Conference 2019 as an expert panellist. The brands that I have worked for have been both Independent and large PLCs.
Most recently I have successfully launched CUPP Bubble Tea into the Franchise Market. I have established CUPP as one of the fastest growing Food to Go brands in the U.K. CUPP now has 30 Sites open 170 contracted sites opening in the next five years, both in the U.K and Internationally.
With a strong work ethic, I believe in maintaining a positive mindset, working with great integrity and passion, striving to create a significant outcome for all tasks undertaken.
When you work with me you should expect an honest collaboration with transparency and consistency.
I believe in creating partnerships with a purpose.
