Recruitment Partner
I recruit General Managers and Head Chefs / Kitchen Managers across South Wales, including Swansea, Cardiff, Cwmbran and Newport. I then also recruit across the South West, including Bristol, Taunton, Plymouth, Exeter, Cheltenham and Gloucester, the West Midlands, predominantly Birmingham and then across to Oxford and Reading. I do go as far East as High Wycombe but the majority of roles are in the South West and Wales, where I am based. I recruit across a range of our brands including Premium Country Pubs, Harvester, Ember Inns, Vintage Inns, Miller & Carter, Sizzling Pubs, Stonehouse and High Street pubs, which includes O’Neill’s.
What do I love about my job? I absolutely love talking to candidates, getting to hear about their career to date, and being the first step in their Mitchells & Butlers journey. When you work for a company like Mitchells & Butlers it’s easy to be able to share all of the great things that they would enjoy should they join. With such a wide variety of brands here, it is also rewarding to see managers move across brands as they develop in their careers with us.
Top Tips
Prepare great examples for your interview
Be ready with two or three stories that highlight how you've supported guests, solved problems, or developed your team. Use clear examples to show patience, teamwork, and initiative, even from non-hospitality roles. Specific wins help us picture you delivering the same standard for your guests.
Show you embrace change and challenge
High-volume settings move fast, so embrace change, variety, and teamwork. Show you're open to changing things up with alternative tasks, and learning new systems or adapting budgets. A positive, can-do attitude often matters more than experience so lean into growth.
Let your personality shine
Hospitality is a people-first industry, so let your energy and personality shine. Greet confidently and keep your tone friendly and positive. We notice genuine enthusiasm, be yourself and show your passion.
