Staff profiles
Chad Miller
Chad spent nearly 20 years in the Royal Navy as a steward and was discharged in 2008 by which time he had attained the rank of Chief Petty Officer (Hospitality). He served on a number of different ships and his duties ranged from the day to day preparation of meals for the crew but also cocktail and dinner parties for dignitaries around the world when in harbour.
During his time in the Navy, Chad gained a City & Guilds in Hospitality and Catering Principles (Hospitality Services) in 1992, an Advanced Food Hygiene Certificate in 1996 and attended annual food refresher training sessions until he was discharged from the Navy in 2008.
He has spent the last 8 years as a building contractor and property developer and completely refurbished the Old Forge guesthouse from a previously derelict workshop.
He now lives in the property with his wife Cheryl and they intend to let out two rooms: a double and a twin as part of their Bed and Breakfast business.
Cheryl Miller
Cheryl has recently retired from a career in nursing where she specialised in diabetic care. She has never run a food business before or been involved in the hospitality industry. She has not received any formal food hygiene training but raised two children, who have both left home now, largely on her own as Chad was away for much of the time in the Navy.
