— MEET THE TEAM —

A hugely experienced Event Chef, Mark started his career with the RAF before moving into hotels and joining Dine in 2009 ready for the launch of The Mansion. His logistical expertise allow us to deliver a high quality food service in some “challenging” environments as well as venues such as The Mansion.

Mark oversees our entire catering operation as well as working closely with our MD on menu development and food innovation. Outside of work, Mark can be found spending quality time with his children.

Rebecca joined Dine in 2021 with a wealth of wedding experience, having previously run a successful wedding venue with her family.  Responsible for sales & marketing across the Dine Group, she is loving the diversity of the events and venues at Dine.  With her extensive network of contacts, genuine passion for all things weddings, events & interiors, Rebecca is a huge asset to the team!

Outside of work, Rebecca has a young family and loves to escape with her husband for great dinner out whenever possible.

Jake joined the team in 2017 and runs the complicated Operations side of all our events, ensuring everything is where it needs to be when it needs to be there!   With a strong background in hotels & catering, he also enjoys working an odd event or two when he can for a change!

Outside of work Jake loves good restaurants too – and a great cheese board.

In her spare time, you can usually find Jenny on her family farm or planning her next escape to the Alps!

Daniel began his training at Leith’s Events and Parties as an Event Manager. In 1995 he moved to Mustard Catering as PA to the Managing Director, catering for clients including FTSE 100 companies, Downing Street and the Queen. Daniel founded Dine in 1998 to provide a bespoke events and catering service.

Dan spends his time working with the team developing menus and ideas, as well as running events. Outside work, he can usually be found ‘researching’ new menus and wine or walking in the Yorkshire Dales.

With over 20 years of hospitality experience in the hotel, food, beverage and events industry, Liam is a hugely experienced member of the team. He’s won multiple service awards in his career, and joined the Dine Team in 2018. He loves the diversity of events at Dine compared to hotels, and his more laid back approach complements the rest of the team perfectly.

Liam spends much of his spare time in the gym or can often be found at the theatre!

Kim joined the team in early 2020, heading up the events team at Rise Hall.  With a background in restaurants & hotels, she was General Manager for 10 years before wanting a change and coming to Dine.  She enjoys the variety of events and when not at Rise can often be found helping out at Sefton Park Palm House.

Outside work Kim loves travelling, eating out and walking her dog.

Kerry joined the team in 2025, having worked in weddings for over 7 years.  She is usually the first contact for couples at Rise Hall, and says her favourite part of the job is meeting new couples at the start of their wedding journey and helping them bring their dream day to life.

Outside of work Kerry enjoys reading, baking and spending time with her family, including her 2 miniature dachshunds Axl & Luna

Sam has worked part time at Dine since 2006 offering essential support for the Events Team and Office. Her role encompasses so many aspects, and everyone at Dine agrees we’d be lost without her!
