Key People

Alex Hunt – Managing Director
Alex has worked for the Catering and Hospitality industry since 1996 and has the same passion and commitment he began with.
Starting in pub and restaurant management roles, then he progressed to kitchen management and later a Head Chef position for an exclusive boutique hotel in the South of France.
He studied Hospitality Management at the University of Guildford, before founding his recruitment consultancy in 2004.
Alex holds shares in a privately owned restaurant in Surrey, where he is actively involved in decisions at board level and acts as an Operations Consultant for the business. This gives him the benefit of a unique position, which allows him to fully understand the needs of the employer and the employee and the importance of building a successful relationship between the two.

Paul Wilkinson - Recruitment Consultant
Whilst this may be Paul’s first opportunity at combining the two, Paul joins the team with a wealth of experience in the Hospitality and Recruitment industries. After studying Physiology & Biochemistry at Reading University, Paul joined a niche City recruitment firm working for several Financial Services clients. After 5 years of City life, he felt it time to realize his calling and returned to the Hospitality sector.
Having quickly climbed the managerial ladder, Paul worked across 6 brands for one of the largest Pub companies in the UK. From local boozer, Cocktail bar, Gastropub or Sports bar, Paul has developed an appreciation not only for the variety of the trade, but also their customers and how best to cater for them.
Paul looks forward to blending his corporate recruitment experience with his knowledge and understanding of the Hospitality sector, whilst still fulfilling his primary passion for establishing personal working relationships and exceeding their expectations.
Outside of work, Paul devotes time to his eclectic interests ranging from graphic novels to mixology, film appreciation or even the occasional run.
