I've always loved preparing and cooking food. When I first moved to London I was given the opportunity to join a new sushi fast-food restaurant in the city. When I started the company was small there was only one shop and three employees. Being a sushi chef was my dream job. I worked there for over 14 years, during which the company grew so much and in early 2020 it had expanded to 30+ stores across London. Unfortunately, after COVID hit my restaurant closed down and I lost my job.
Without a job, I’ve not been able to provide a stable and secure lifestyle for my family. We're currently living in temporary accommodation but I want more for us. I am willing to take any job just to give us financial stability, however, my ultimate goal is to start cooking again and hopefully find another position as a sushi chef. If anyone wants any sushi tips, I am your guy!
Beam is helping me find secure employment in a warehouse, which is a role I have experience in. I just want to be able to provide for my family again. With my first paycheck, I am going to buy my son a chair and desk to help him with his college work. Beam will also be supporting me to develop on my cooking skills at college. This will provide with the tools to eventually find employment in a kitchen again.
