New & Exciting Development Chef Role
We are a leader, developer and licensor of highly valuable brand assets in the foodservice, FMCG and retail channels which deliver on the commercial, professional and personal growth expectations of all stakeholders and employees.

About The Role
This role is as diverse as they come, from full New Product Development (NPD) of FMCG products, to creating foodservice solutions, to designing and running premium restaurants.
The role requires someone who has a strong restaurant foundation with broad skills in organisation and project management, as well as a good basic knowledge of applied maths and science.
