What our employers say

During Covid-19, apprentice Josh Parker-Davis proved to be worth his weight in gold to family-run Christopher's & The Peel Aldergate restaurant, where he did his on-the-job training for his Commis Chef Level 2 standard.

 

"We found ourselves in a situation where it was literally 'do or die' and started doing 'carry away' menus – classics, tapas, Sunday roasts, afternoon teas and savoury platters. Thankfully, the community was really supportive. Although we were working on reduced staff, we wanted Josh to continue to get his education and he responded really, really well, got stuck in and really stepped up to the mark – he got it."
