In 1996 he received a life-changing phone call offering him a job at Harrods. Aged 22, he set off immediately with one suitcase and only a handful of English words to throw himself into expanding the Traiteur counter at Harrods. Poached by Selfridges to repeat his Harrods success, he set up a Traiteur counter in both the Oxford Street and Manchester stores and helped to educate the eating habits of customers.
His next move was as a chef for London’s top outside caterer, Rhubarb. He worked for film premiers including James Bond, royal functions and music industry celebrities. He confesses that he hardly recognised many of the celebrities, coming home to wife Jude uttering cryptic descriptions such as ‘the tall man that ran a hotel’ for John Cleese.
In 2004 Franck and Jude set up their own outside catering and events company, Food Creation so successfully, that people change the dates of their events in order to have Franck’s creations served to their guests.
At the end of 2007 Franck started writing his first book and so begins a voyage into new experiences and he can't wait to see where it takes him.
