Chef tutor, Phil Eldon, and Front of House tutors, Rebecca Simpson and Geoff Wilson, each bring passion, professionalism and commitment; key ingredients that have enabled them to be successful in their respective fields.
“Travel was the main reason why I became a chef”, says Phil. “As a result, I have worked all over Europe and Australasia, enabling me to experience many of the world’s finest restaurants.”
“Giving people a great experience” is the prime motivation for Rebecca, who has worked throughout New Zealand as a chef, in restaurant and catering management, and now runs her own coffee business.
“A passion for wine” inspired Geoff to give up a London based corporate career to establish his own wine business in Hawke’s Bay.
Each agree that a career in hospitality can establish a pathway to a rewarding lifestyle, working in bars, restaurants, wineries and cruise ships, around the world.
