Stephen Davies

Having built a strong background in operational supervision, facilities awareness, and hands-on problem solving through a range of roles across hospitality, retail, and customer service environments.

currently work as a Senior Sous Chef at Bluestone Resorts, where I support daily kitchen operations, ensure equipment is safe and functional, and help maintain strict health and safety standards. This role involves monitoring equipment performance, identifying faults, and ensuring smooth operational flow in a high-pressure environment.

Previously, I worked as a Kitchen Team Leader and Duty Manager at Premier Inn, where I gained experience overseeing site operations, responding to maintenance-related issues, and ensuring that both front and back-of-house areas were safe, clean, and fully operational. I regularly liaised with management to report faults, coordinate repairs, and maintain service continuity.

Earlier in my career, I developed strong attention to detail and a practical approach to maintenance through roles such as Kitchen Assistant, Cleaner, and Retail Assistant. These positions involved maintaining clean and safe environments, supporting equipment upkeep, handling deliveries, and ensuring compliance with health and safety procedures.

Across all roles, I have consistently demonstrated reliability, teamwork, and the ability to identify and resolve operational issues quickly. I am now looking to transition these skills into a Maintenance Supervisor role, where I can take on greater responsibility for facilities, equipment, and building upkeep.
