David James: creative director

David is available to clients to discuss new concepts and ideas within their catering services, from new food concepts that would suit to a redesign of the service and service makeovers. David also covers special events and any other aspects of the business where a fresh touch is required.

As the third proprietor of bartlett mitchell, David describes himself as the 'hyphen'! He has worked in both restaurants and hotels, and has an incredible knowledge of food and food trends. He first got together with Ian and Wendy in the early 90's whilst a trainer at the British Airways contract. He went on to become the Food Service Executive for Compass in the South, which involved brand management and providing bespoke catering services for clients across the UK.

David later set up his own company 'Wild Lime' which specialised in providing creative solutions for caterers. An ideas person through and through, his approach to delighting customers through innovation has become one of the unique characteristics of bartlett mitchell.

As Creative Director David is the custodian of the bartlett mitchell brand, ready to provide you with the 'wow' factor - in a practical and deliverable way.
