KEY TEAM MEMBERSThe strength of any organisation is with its people and this is particularly true of an events and catering company. Below you will find profiles of our full-time staff but for a company like ours part-time staff also play a vital role. At a large event, the first person your guests are likely to meet will be a waiter or a cloakroom attendant. They are our ambassadors and are responsible for the crucial first impression and, as such, we always treat them with respect and as young professionals. We strive to only use staff on our own books and always start every event with proper training and briefings to ensure the staff know exactly what high standards we expect. Damien Malone - Head Chef
Different regions and cultures have significantly increased Damian’s knowledge about food. Visiting places including Africa, India and France has provided fresh ideas and perspectives toward his work in the kitchen.

He has a special passion for chocolate, which apart from being greatly appreciated here at Inn or Out, took him to the 2nd place in the UK Chocolate Masters 2008.

Mark Shelton - Account Manager

Alex Blunden - Event Manager & Party Planner
Alex met Inn or Out on a work experience placement from college where she was studying business with the hope of going into event management. The combination of hospitality and a variety of tasks that could get her away from her desk seemed like the perfect fit. Inn or Out liked what they saw and invited her back for a second week and then again during holidays. In July 2006, she jumped at the chance of an apprenticeship with the team, and is now a valuable employee here at Inn or Out. Favourite Food? Freshly Baked Scones with Clotted Cream and Home-made Jam
