Daniel McDonagh

I am a dedicated and hardworking kitchen porter with a deep passion for food and the catering industry. I thrive in fast-paced environments, maintaining exceptional cleanliness and organisation to support chefs and ensure smooth operations. Reliability, consistency, and a strong work ethic define me, along with a constant drive to learn and improve.

The past year has reinforced my commitment to a long-term career in catering, and with the right mentorship, I am confident I can become a valuable asset. My goal is to develop my skills further, progressing into a more hands-on role in food preparation and kitchen operations. I am eager for new challenges, professional growth, and to contribute to a team that values dedication and excellence.
