Jack Cooper

I am returning to the UK after more than 3 years of travel. During this time I have developed both personally and professionally, becoming more interpersonally skilled and taking on a new challenge in the world of hospitality. I was surprised at the transferablility of healthcare fundamentals into hospitality, with my professional yet authentic style of service being received well in a range of venues, from casual dining to 5 star.

My attention to detail leans more toward the luxury settings, and a thirst for knowledge gives me the motivation to master menus and deliver the best experience through recommendation of dishes and paired drinks.
