What is it you actually do, Jo?
2:12
I've been with Happy Healthcare now for nine years.
2:15
It's quite a unique role because not many people have a group catering manager at the head of the team.
2:21
It came about because when I started with the group, there was a lot of challenges to face with menus, environmental health policies, training chefs and everything that went with it.
2:33
Because my experience in the past, working for other groups and driving them to success, I was encouraged by my managing director, Mark Clunan, to take on 16 teams in the role.
2:44
So I have 16 teams of chefs now from Glasgow to Dover.
2:48
Wow.
