Hannah Taylor, Ginger Hospitality General Manager –
There are moments in recruitment that genuinely stand out, and this is one of them.
I’m really pleased to share the news that Imogen has recently joined the team at The Rum Fox as their new Pastry Chef.
From the very first conversation, it was clear that this was going to be a special match. Not just in terms of skill, but in attitude, ambition, and the environment needed to grow.
Finding the Right Fit for Both Sides
Working with The Rum Fox has been a brilliant experience. They are a venue that truly understands the importance of building a strong kitchen team and creating an environment where chefs can develop.
When we started discussing their needs, it was clear they were not just looking for a Pastry Chef to fill a role. They were looking for someone who would become part of the team, contribute to the kitchen, and grow with the business.
Imogen stood out straight away. Her passion for the industry is obvious, and she brings a level of care and commitment that is exactly what kitchens like The Rum Fox value.
A Candidate Ready to Grow
From my perspective, Imogen is someone who has all the right qualities to go far in this industry.
She is passionate, driven, and genuinely excited to build her career in hospitality. Throughout the process, she was a pleasure to work with and guide, always open, engaged, and focused on finding the right move rather than just the next move.
What made this placement even more exciting was knowing that she would be stepping into an environment that supports that ambition.
The team at The Rum Fox are known for being nurturing, hands-on, and invested in their people. It is exactly the kind of place where a chef like Imogen can continue to develop and build something long-term.
What The Rum Fox Had to Say
The team at The Rum Fox shared how pleased they are to welcome Imogen into the kitchen:
“We’re absolutely delighted to welcome Imogen to the team at The Rum Fox this week. Ginger were incredibly helpful in finding the right chef for our needs, and we’re excited to have Imogen join us. We look forward to supporting her growth and watching her career flourish with us.”
This is exactly what great recruitment should look like. A partnership where both sides feel confident, supported, and excited about what comes next.
Imogen’s Experience of the Process
For Imogen, the journey was just as important as the outcome.
“I’ve recently had the pleasure of using Ginger Recruitment to help find my next role as a Pastry Chef. I have to say, the team have been incredibly helpful and they’ve made the whole process so easy. You can tell they really care about finding the best match. I’m very excited to start my new job, and I can’t thank Ginger enough for helping me find it.”
Hearing this kind of feedback is always a reminder of why we do what we do. It is not just about placing someone into a role, it is about making sure it is the right move for them.
Looking Ahead
What I’m most excited about now is watching what happens next.
Imogen has all the potential to build a fantastic career, and with the support of The Rum Fox behind her, she is in exactly the right place to do that. Placements like this are what hospitality recruitment should be about. Not quick fixes, but long-term matches where both the business and the individual can grow together.
A Final Congratulations
A huge congratulations to Imogen on her new role as Pastry Chef at The Rum Fox.
And a big thank you to the team at The Rum Fox for trusting us to support them with such an important hire. I’m really looking forward to following this journey and seeing everything that comes next.
