e-commerce website development and on-line marketing specialist Purpose Media’s latest recruit, Mitchell Brown, has swapped the heat of the kitchen for the buzz of the office in a career change.

A former pupil of Queen Elizabeth’s Academy and West Nottinghamshire College, Mansfield, Mitch spent several years working as a chef in Michelin-starred establishments, including Gordon Ramsay’s Maze Restaurant in London.

He has joined Purpose Media’s client service team where he will learn more about implementing on-line marketing campaigns, e-commerce website development and search engine optimisation.

Mitch, pictured right with Matt Wheatcroft of Purpose Media, who said: “Working in a busy kitchen means Mitch has many transferable skills. The ability to multi-task as part of a team whilst still retaining a calm head when working under pressure is a vital soft skill we look for when recruiting. Technical ability is something we can teach, so if we can find new recruits who have already mastered the softer skills we can continuously improve client service.”
