 John Davey is the Don of London’s Front of House scene and the Creator of many of the great systems we all use to train our teams.  His exceptional eye for detail and understanding of human nature has enabled him to build and drive the best teams in London.  He has a tremendous following from both the internal and external customer with his charm, style and effortless delivery inspiring many of them.   Having known John for many years and worked with him, I have experienced him groom the next generation, adapt styles of service to suit the current trends and motivate groups into winning teams; accolades are something he is more then familiar with as he only ever produces winning teams

You were always the face to Morton’s and there to greet all members, giving that very personal service and making every individual that visit feel special. You enthused personality, charisma and a great example to the others on how true hospitality should be

 I have worked with John at various points over a long period of time and I think it is fair to say that he really is one of the last of the great hosts still working in the industry. People with an absolutely natural ability to make people welcome are few and far between and John has this in spades. Furthermore has worked in many highly ambitious restaurants and has great technical ability and knowledge to pair up with phenomenal people skills
