As an operations manager I oversee the day to day running of the several businesses within the contract catering sector. I support the teams running kitchens and guide them to achieve the business needs and targets set within the budgets. Aid in maximising sales and minimising waste.

As I am still training I feel I can learn some more. So far though it has helped to boost my confidence as a person and in my role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Not at the moment but would be open to it.
