London-born Kevin Johnson attended Thanet Catering College in Kent where he graduated with City and Guild qualifications and diplomas in Cookery; Food and Beverage Service; and Accommodation Service. For twenty years Kevin has worked exclusively in Private Service, holding positions of great responsibility working for many of the world’s respected families and organizations. Starting his career as footman at The British Embassy in Paris, he received training in etiquette; the art of formal entertaining; and the proper care-procedures to adopt with antique silver, fine china, crystal and glass. He also learned to obey the sacred rules of his trade, including the importance of discretion, whilst honing his ‘eye for detail’. Kevin has worked along-side Europe’s leading decorators, restorers, craftsmen and artisan workers, gathering skills which allow him to manage projects and events requiring only the highest aesthetic standards. Never happy to accept mediocrity as a norm, Kevin continues to push boundaries, as a founder of Green Baize Door and the representative of Private Chefs Inc. in Europe, he hopes to assist the industry of which he is proud to be a member.
