Chris' bio
I am proud to be a specialist hospitality recruiter, leading our teams across the Sussex and Yorkshire areas. Over the last 7 years working for Search, I have progressed from a Trainee Consultant into the role of Divisional Manager. Along my journey with Search, I have been responsible for building successful teams within our business and establishing key relationships with clients and candidates across the leisure, commercial, care and education sectors within the hospitality industry.
Having spent 10 years working in restaurant management, I genuinely understand the importance and value of service. Each member of our team comes directly from the hospitality industry and it is this extensive industry knowledge that allows us to be consultative in our approach, offering a tailored recruitment solution that places the needs of our clients and candidates at the heart of what we do, each and every time.
If you are an operator within the care, education, leisure and commercial sectors looking for a reliable, quality-driven and compliant recruitment partner, or you are a candidate within these fields looking for an agency who will truly match your skills to the right assignments, we are very much looking forward to speaking with you.

"During my time as a recruitment manager, I called upon Chris to help me recruit my hard to fill Managerial roles. Not only did he provide me with a selection of relevant CVs, he was also able to provide advice and solutions.
As a result of this, we now have a number of strong managers provided by Chris who fit."
Client
"Search Hospitality has played a vital role in the recruitment of chefs to our care homes over the years.
Not only do they assist with the recruitment process by supplying candidates, they go above and beyond to assist our internal teams. The hospitality team is a true asset to Search and invaluable to ours here at Care UK."

"I have no hesitation in recommending Search Hospitality to assist with your recruitment needs. The team understands exactly what is required and delivers in a timely manner. I have been dealing with them for around 8 months now and they have sourced me some great candidates."
HR Manager
High Street Restaurant Group
"Search Hospitality have been a real support in dealing with business needs and working really hard to deliver ideal candidates.
Nothing is ever too much trouble and I view them as ‘good business friends’ rather than the guys from Search who help us out."
Catering Manager
National Contract Caterer
"I have worked with Gillian from Search Hospitality since 2015 and use her to help source chefs, kitchen porters and kitchen assistants.
She has a great understanding of my business and will always send me the best candidates for my temporary requirements.
I would not hesitate in recommending her to any other business looking for temporary or permanent catering solutions for their catering department."
