Consett Academy

Although George could not see himself going down the route of university he continued his A Level studies in order to have a baseline for his future. After leaving Consett Academy he worked for a year but dreamt of moving away and gaining independence. Later that same year he emailed the Gordon Ramsey Group asking if they had any vacancies, within a week he received a phone call offering him a space in any Ramsey restaurant in Britain. Almost two years later George is progressing through Ramsay's three Michelin star kitchens, cooking with the most spectacular ingredients and the most elite chefs. "Working here has opened so many opportunities, allowing me to work at other restaurants across London I dreamt of visiting as a child. The biggest lesson this chapter of my life has taught me, is to take the chance and grab every opportunity that is given, put a foot in every door that is open and never say never. "
