Marco Pierre White "The CCTV Chef"
Michelin Starred chef Marco Pierre White recently ran a culinary masterclass for 15 lucky apprentice chefs, which Chris Currell, who studies at Central Sussex College's Crawley campus, was chosen to attend. As an ex apprentice himself, Michelin-starred Pierre White is a keen advocate of Apprenticeships, and recommends aspiring chefs to seriously consider taking one, saying "In my opinion, an Apprenticeship is a passport to a future career. Apprenticeships are the future."
He is now starring in a series of advertisements for Apprenticeships, as 'The CCTV Chef'. The campaign consists of three films showing how Pierre White's life could have been without his Apprenticeship. The films feature him operating a burger van, a world away from the haute cuisine restaurants he usually inhabits.
Watch the three videos below to see 'The CCTV Chef' in action!
