With career goals of hopefully becoming a Restaurant Manager or Head Chef in the future Chloe is confident that she has found her ideal career path, she said; “When I won the award a few weeks ago I felt very happy and I felt as if this is the first step in my career.” 

Adam Cawood, Head Chef and Chloe’s mentor at the hotel, is very proud of Chloe and commented; “I do believe she is destined for big things in the catering world. Not only is she hard working and passionate but she possesses the attention to detail required to not only send out the best possible food but also come up with ideas for the future of that dish to improve it.”

To be a young apprentice in any industry requires dedication and commitment, Chloe has fitted in with her team and has crushed all challenges in her path, Adam continued; “I have seen many chefs with a lot of potential but quite a few don’t possess the mental strength or ability to put their “ego” to one side when they know themselves they could be brilliant. Chloe though does believe this, but is modest and carries on without boasting or getting too big headed, which is a trait I really do commend.”

We have over 100 apprenticeships available.
