She was three years at the Ivy, then managed the Connaught Grill.
She's cheerful and brilliant.

Jayne's infectious enthusiasm, vibrancy and natural flair has helped her achieve great things within the hospitality industry.
This enthusiasm has been the driving force behind a string of successful international high profile restaurant openings including Glasshouse in the Hilton Dubai Creek, Angela Hartnett at the Connaught Connaught Hotel in London for the 12 times awarded Michelin Star British chef Gordon Ramsay and being the Lunchtime Maitre 'D at the Celebrity hotspot The Ivy in London's West End, who tripled the amount of covers served at lunch.
