James started his hospitality adventure in the depths of the kitchens as some of London’s finest, most luxurious hotels and restaurants as a pastry chef before working his way up to head of pastry with the Admirable Crichton, operating glamorous 5* events around the world before transferring his skills and knowledge to front of house operations. Following this transition, James was involved with creating the in-house catering operation at Tobacco Dock, curating multi-faceted events and experiences for some of the world’s leading brands.
