  • I have been working at the Old Stamp House for six years now, and in that time, we have managed to get one Michelin star, which has made the restaurant a lot more popular. The standard of service has to be very high. I have recently been moved up to their new expansion called The Schelly, which is now the sister restaurant to the Old Stamp House. It is a lot faster-paced because it is more of a tapas-styled restaurant. I enjoy working here alongside the owner, Ryan Blackburn, from whom I have learned a lot about how to treat customers, along with being very professional in customer service.

I am quite new to DJing; however, my family has a lot of experience in DJing, which has led me to take it on, and I now DJ for weddings and other types of gatherings. It has also made me a lot more confident as a person, talking to large groups of people on my own, and trying to give them the best experience possible.
