MENESH MODHWADIA – MANAGING DIRECTOR
“Having talked about the historic & current chef crisis with Sixty Eight People it was very exciting to discuss the opportunity of sponsoring International chefs to come to the UK to add value to our business... The movement to international chefs is a game changer for the industry and this solution could be instrumental to solving the skills shortages we have. Sixty Eight People has facilitated a brilliant collaborative approach. We now have 37 fully qualified and trained International chefs in our business. They are all equally phenomenal, from skill set, attitude and work ethic, they are 10/10, an absolute game changer.”

ROSS ROBINSON - CEO
"It was a fun but thorough experience. Interviewing online plus seeing technical skills & dish creation videos was an excellent way to handle candidates on the other side of the world. I don’t feel anymore could have been done to create faith in committing to these candidates and equally them committing to us. Our new chefs have instantly settled within the team, with exceptional work ethic and a real willingness to learn and grow. We have already started the process for eighteen more candidates across our other venues. They have bolstered and solidified our team during a difficult time for the industry. Having a full schedule of staff has helped attract more chefs into the business as this has now created core stability."

"68 people were amazing throughout the whole process. From rigorously selecting talented chefs, helping with the Visa and immigration process, and great aftercare. With their bespoke guidance and genuine care, it felt like a super complicated process became a breeze. With the current chef recruitment crisis in the uk right now, they’ve been a godsend in all honesty."

CHRISTIAN P – CHEF DE PARTIE
I am incredibly grateful to Kath and her team at Sixty Eight for their amazing support in helping my family settle in the UK. From the moment I arrived to work at the wonderful Duncombe Arms, I expressed my desire to bring my wife and daughter here, and the support from my employer, Johnny, Laura, and Sixty Eight International has been extraordinary. Now, 12 months later, I am overjoyed to have my wife and daughter living with me. The support from Sixty Eight has been outstanding, and we have formed lifelong friendships. I have learnt so much here from foraging in local woodlands to the great British classics, there is always something new. We will never forget this life-changing experience and the impact everyone has had on our lives. Thank you, Kath, Sixty Eight International, and Duncombe Arms, for making our dreams come true.
ABDUL – PIZZA CHEF
A very big Thanks to Kath Powell and entire team of Sixty Eight People. I was very Pleased with professional service rendered by Kath from start to the very last end of my relocation processing to UK. She held my hand throughout the Journey, from job interview to visa application and relocation processing. I couldn't find a right word to describe how passionate and dedicated she was in ensuring everything went smoothly. I had an amazing experience with Sixty Eight International. My settling down in UK was pretty easy as I was welcomed at the airport by Rebs and Reece, presented with UK sim card and drove directly to my new home which was all Kath's effort.
Overall, I am very happy with my new role and would like to thank Kath for her help in securing it.
CHARMIE – CHEF DE PARTIE I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the team at Sixty Eight International for their incredible support during my move from Dubai to the UK. They went above and beyond to help me with my IELTS exam, handle my visa process, and even coordinate with my new employer to ensure everything was in order. Kath and her team kept in touch regularly, checking in on us and making sure we were settling well into our new life in the UK. Whenever we had questions or needed advice, they were always there to lend a helping hand. Sixty Eight International is more than just an agency, they are truly different from any others I've encountered on my international hospitality journey.
