It’s been invaluable in everything I’ve done to date. PLACEMENTS With placements a priority, we have excellent links with Michelin-starred and on-trend restaurants, hotels, bakery businesses, new product developers and leading brands across the region, the UK and globally. You might end up having the chance to work with one of these employers; White Barn Inn and Spa (Maine, USA), The Savoy (London), Gleneagles (Scotland), Celtic Manor (Wales), The Landmark (London) or Ashford Castle (County Mayo, Ireland).
