Ex-Service Personnel Injured in Conflict? FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY!!

Are you an ex-service man or woman who has been injured in conflict? Are you looking for an opportunity that could possibly change your life?

THEN READ ON!

We are currently looking for people to interview for a groundbreaking new television series we are currently developing for the BBC.

Michael Caines is one of Britain’s most acclaimed chefs. AA Chef’s Chef of the Year in 2007 he was awarded an MBE in 2006 for services to the hospitality industry. His role as Executive Chef at Gidleigh Park, the acclaimed and prestigious country house hotel in Devon and voted hotel of the year 2009, is where Michael earned his reputation as well as two Michelin stars. He is also an Operational Partner and Director of a very successful chain of Hotels across the UK. Michael lost his right arm in a road accident, however his unwavering belief in his own ability to overcome obstacles and face difficult challenges is what made him more focused and determined than ever to pursue his dream of reaching the top of his profession.

Fifteen years on from his accident and Michael Caines MBE now wants to do something definitive to show that if he can create excellence, so can millions of other men and women with disabilities. In his own words “disability is no disadvantage when it comes to running a slick business.” Michael is willing to put his world-class reputation on the line to prove that he can create a five star hotel by employing only people who have a disability.

We are particularly keen to find inspirational ex-service personnel who have been injured in conflict who may be interested in the opportunity of pursuing an alternative yet equally challenging career. We are looking for people to fill a number of different roles from the kitchen and front of house staff to reception and spa staff. Anyone interested must be determined, talented, hardworking people who are willing to help Michael challenge and revolutionise attitudes towards disability.

This project is still in development – any interviews filmed will not be broadcast.
