Company & location: Kinnerton Confectionery, London
Education: I have a BSc in Baking Technology Management from the National Bakery School at London South Bank University. I studied a host of modules ranging from Luxury Continental Patisserie to Business Environmental Management and Applied Food Science. I was also admitted into The Worshipful Company of Bakers as a freeman after I graduated, one of the oldest City of London liveries.
Why did you decide to go for a career in food? I have always had a keen interest in the food industry stemming back to when I was at school, I loved studying food technology as well as art & design and had a passion for baking, so I applied to the National Bakery School with the ambition of opening my own business. In second year, I had a module in product development and instantly knew that was the ideal path for me – I could channel my creativity into something bigger.
