“an amazing and rewarding experience”

"I spent the whole summer  working with a really brilliant bunch of people. It was hard work, but loads of fun. I was taught a lot about working with food, working at lots of different types of events,  working under pressure and dealing with customers and clients.

Working for The Fine Food Company was an amazing and rewarding experience, and it helped me land a full time job as a member of  The Lord Mayor's Banqueting team."
