Earlier today Chanticleer
Holdings announced the appointment of Mark Allison, international chef and
educator, as SVP Culinary and Kitchen. Allison has extensive experience in the
culinary arts, working around the world for 34 years.
Mark Allison, a native to
England, moved to the U.S. in 2004 from West Glamorgan, Wales, UK, where he was
a senior catering lecturer at Neath Port Talbot College and achieved fame
winning Restaurant Magazines best College Restaurant in “Wales and the South
West of England” competition in 2004. He was also personally honored by Prime
Minister Tony Blair for his dedication to the Education and Hospitality field
in Wales in 2003.
Since his move to the U.S.
in 2004, Mark has been the dean of Culinary Arts Education at Johnson &
Wales University, one of America’s most highly regarded culinary arts schools
located in Charlotte, NC. He implemented, directed, and evaluated culinary planned
strategies and tactics related to the college of culinary arts, providing
leadership and inspiration to over 40 faculty members, 20 staff and 1,400
students.
Allison is the author of
“150 Projects to Get You into Culinary Arts,” the ultimate guide for any
student aiming to become a chef. He has also received numerous honors and
awards including 2011 JWU Publishing Award, 2009 JWU Community Service Award,
2008 JWU “Teacher of the Year Award,” and in 2006 the JWU “Outstanding Service
Award.”
“I’m extremely excited to
been involved with a company that has such strong leadership and a positive
vision for the future. Its diverse culinary operations in the U.S. and around
the world will make my position extremely interesting, as we strive to deliver
the best possible combination of quality food, service and customer
satisfaction in a friendly and competitively priced environment,” commented
Mark Allison.
“I first met Mark while he
was dean of the culinary school at Johnson and Wales, a very impressive campus
and valued resource to the Charlotte community. When the opportunity presented
itself to have Mark join Chanticleer in the newly created position, I quickly
jumped at it,” commented Mike Pruitt, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “As
we continue to develop, enhance and grow our restaurant concepts having Mark’s
skills and knowledge in a key leadership role will be instrumental to achieving
our goals. He will work closely with each of our business units to enhance the
