We are now over half way through September already – I have no idea where the time is going! I have 4 weeks left until I go on maternity leave.
We are still busy in the office and there is a lot going at the moment. Relief is still extremely busy – the jobs are still piling in and we expect they will carry on like that until the beginning of November. If you are a chef well known to us, send an email to Johanna at jojo@chefsinscotland.co.uk and we can mark you available. We are still meeting relief chefs at our office too which is keeping us busy as well.
In terms of permanent recruitment, the adverts are still coming in and we are still getting a steady stream of CVs coming in every day. We are running our competition at the moment until the end of December – any adverts placed between now and the 29th of December will be placed into a prize draw to win a CIS mug, a CIS pen and a week’s free accommodation in the CIS apartment in Nerja, Spain to be taken in March 2018.
The daily jobs are keeping us busy also, downloading CVs, adding relief and permanent chefs to the databases and calling them to register them. We also are chasing up references twice daily, as well as chasing up credit control, doing weekly invoices and receipts, arranging interviews and adding all new fee of interest jobs to caterer.
Tom- (our director of special projects) is also being kept busy in the office managing our new project – the brewery in Lockerbie. It is an exciting project for Chefs In Scotland and we are all looking forward to seeing it develop. Jessica is very much looking forward to sampling the new gin and we will also be looking to produce 2 beers as well. We are looking to call the first beer "Dryfe Blonde” and Michael is looking for a name for the second beer – something spiky / punchy so if you have an ideas, feel free to give us some suggestions.
Tom is also looking for some ideas for a logo for our brewery - Galldachd na h-Alba Brewery. If you have any ideas email tom@chefsinscotland.co.uk – if we use your idea, you could win a bottle of the first batch of Lockerbie Gin. Good luck!
