Jon

Jonathan CJUK ManagerI’ve worked in various Front of House and Duty Manager roles with CJUK for over 14 years now, travelling from Cumbria to Oxford, Newcastle to Liverpool. There’s always something different for me!

I first entered the industry working as a KP washing up before I moved to FOH in a small restaurant in Windermere. I love that my work introduces me to all different types of people, I even worked Mel Smith’s stag do which was a fun experience! Whether working FOH or Duty Management, every day is a different challenge, it’s never repetitive which is great for me.

My two favourite jobs through CJUK have been Hotels in Oxfordshire. I’ve really liked the atmosphere, the place and the fantastic people at each of them.

My guilty pleasure? A good fish finger butty or a G&T!

A few words from the team:

“We’ve worked with Jon for many years and it’s always a pleasure! He fits in with the teams so well and they’re always sad to see him go if they no longer need his help. It’s a testament to his friendly, warming approach which is perfect for the job he does!”
