Alex Thurley-Ratcliff

I've had a rewarding career in employee engagement and communication, I've learnt a lot and met some great people all around the world, which has been a privilege.

I specialised in client management, facilitation, presenting and online media.

In 2016 I changed direction - having always wanted to work in catering and the restaurant trade. This also coincided with an unexpected redundancy in January 2016. I started at the bottom – as a grill cook in a fast-paced city-centre café as well as doing any agency chef work I could get around Southampton and ended up two years later as a Head Chef at Offbeet – a pioneering vegan restaurant in Wickham and then opening the Southampton (New Forest) restaurant in June 2018.

Sadly, I don't feel I am getting the personal and career development I’m looking for, so I am looking at creative ways I can make use of my communications career experience.

I’m open to a discussion – what do you need which is in my quite varied skill set?
