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.”

Back-2-Front UK Ltd was founded by catering and recruitment professionals Pete and Chloe Cann in March 2009.

Pete has spent more than 20 years working in the catering industry in various roles from waiter and kitchen
assistant up through to shift manager, trainer, head chef and finally as a catering recruitment consultant field.

Chloe started working in the same industry in 1996 and has worked as a bar tender, waitress, kitchen assistant, shift manager and front of house trainer.

From their time working in catering and recruitment, they knew there was something missing with most recruiters more interested in the money rather than the service they provided.

‘Far Superior’
The calibre of staff has been really high and always reliable. Even at our most challenging moments where we need a lot of people at short notice you have come up trumps. This is far superior to any of the previous agencies that we have used.

‘Always Willing To Help At Last Minute’
I use Back-2-Front for both the convenience of covering shifts and for the quality of staff they provide. They are always willing to help at last minute and have never let us down.
