Mark McCann

Chef Director

Mark has been a trailblazer in the industry and has a proven track record of driving businesses forward with his entrepreneurial spirit. Putting people at the heart of all he does has made him such an inspirational mentor creating amazing long term careers for numerous chefs. His drive and ambition supported several award-winning companies over the years. This experience has created a strong foundation to establish a bold new company that will challenge the norm.

Food memories

Mark’s culinary journey started with his grandmother, where he and his sister discovered Indian recipes handed down through generations. Picking and tasting herbs & spices they had never seen before, they recreated authentic mouth-watering dishes that past generations had also lovingly prepared, giving them both true insight into their history. They both realised quickly that food is at the heart and soul of their family.

How memories are captured by one taste, one recipe and how this experience of creating food and eating together forms long term bonds; an ethos Mark re-creates every day in his work life.

I have been fortunate to work with Mark on projects since the early 1990’s and he has shown himself to be one of the most innovative food leads in the sector, playing a central role with many of the leading players in the industry.

He was a key figure with Sutclffe Catering in the City, with Granada, then with Restaurant Associates when it first launched onto the market; subsequently with Bartlett Mitchell.

Catering has always been a real passion for Mark as he has such a belief in the importance of great food in how it impacts on daily life plus wants to know he is delivering high service to clients.
