Profile

I began my career as a chef at the Manor Hotel in Meriden in 1996 while studying for my professional chef qualifications at Solihull College. I spent 8 years at the hotel and left at junior sous chef level.

I then moved to work as a sous chef at Michelin-starred Edmund's restaurant, before working as head chef for Paul Salisbury at gastro pub Morton's.

Following this, I was approached by the owner of Aston Villa Football club, Randy Lerner, to open the restaurant Villa Midlands Food at Villa Park.

After two years in this role I began working in the college of food at University College Birmingham, becoming a full-time lecturer in 2012.
