The Company

Founded in 2005 after falling in love with the food of this beautiful region of the world, this husband and wife team have led and scaled this unique, aspirational restaurant brand, and17 years later, they have a group of restaurants dotted around the country, serving great value, healthy food that’s cooked fresh in each kitchen daily. They pride themselves on not being a corporate chain, they are a family-run business, and want this to shine through in everything they do – from the food they cook, to the teams they employ and train, to the way they greet and engage with all their customers.

The Role

Charlotte


Account Director

After toying with becoming an actress, I found my home in hospitality around 22 years ago. I worked as an operator with Tootsies in London. I fell into hospitality recruitment working across branded restaurants, before heading up 5 national recruitment offices.

After a 2 year stint in executive search, I went in-house leading recruitment and development functions within Giraffe, LEON and most recently Gail’s. I have known Troika for many years and have always loved the expertise and warmth of all the team, I also have a huge love of food/drink and people…so a perfect combination.
