Orla Murphy
Chef Consultant

Industry Experience– I started working in Kitchens at the age of 15 alongside school which made me want to train to be a Chef which I went on to complete a 2 year course in once I finished school. I worked as a chef for 15 years in a variety of establishments from busy Hotels to Gastro Pubs and Fine Dining Restaurants. I spent my last 5 years as a chef for a large contract catering company working my way up from a CDP to a Chef manager running my own unit.
After 15 years I decided to hang up my whites and joined the Back-2-Front team which I have been part of for 6 years now.

Greatest Achievement– Other than having my 2 kids I would have to say that my greatest career achievement was at the age of 23 I was offered a Head Chef role at a well known busy Bristol Restaurant it was an honour to have all my hard work recognised even though I did refuse the position due to having career doubts at the time.

Favourite Quote– “Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

Greatest Achievement – Supporting unemployed people with the process of starting up their own businesses.

‘Very Hardworking, Professional and Helpful’
Thanks for all your help sorting the staff for our event. They were all great, very hardworking, professional and helpful. They got stuck in with many other jobs that needed doing to help us prepare for the event, not just the cloakroom. We couldn’t have done it without them.
