Episode notes

“Making it through a recession made us stronger” 

Award-winning chef Tom Kerridge shares how he and wife Beth Cullen-Kerridge almost lost everything during the Great Recession in the late 2000s. 

Liz Taylor asks him about the ‘difficult business decisions’ that the couple had to make during that time, likening it to the situation that the COVID-19 hit hospitality and event industry faces today.

In this episode of Events That Made Me, find out about his early beginnings, the meaning of the coveted Michelin Star, why he went through a huge weight loss and what (and in this case, who…) has been key to his business success. 

“If you’re lucky enough to be with the right person it cements foundations, it helps you bond much stronger."

With a string of hit recipe books, restaurants and shows under his belt, Liz dives into the recipe that has made Tom Kerridge a success. 

 
Liz Taylor’s 30-year career in event planning has built an impressive portfolio of events, including celebrity weddings, charity fundraisers like Children in Need with Gary Barlow and huge gala dinners such as Winter White Gala at Kensington Palace for HRH Duke of Cambridge, as well as the Manchester United Champions League winning after party in Moscow and Coronation Street’s 40th anniversary celebrations. During lockdown in March, with the events industry on hold, she turned her attention to launching her own consultancy and realised a lifelong ambition in launching her own podcast.
