Emma Harper
I've watched private chefs do really well for a really long time and decided that it was my turn to put my passion for food, my obsession with food into practice and
Murray's was the only course that I could find that was specific enough, with no faf, to get me where I wanted to be in a shockingly short period of time.
Claire McGuigan
My experiences have seen me travel throughout the UK and Europe, and as far afield as the Bahamas. The cooking gives you the flexibility to choose your own contracts, the money's great, and if you're lucky the tips are too!
I'm currently working on a 60-meter super yacht and we've traveled throughout the med this summer. Who knows what the next adventure is going to bring?
