Meet
the
Housebites
team...
Housebites was created by a team of passionate foodies with busy lives. Not content with the current 'order-in' options - both in terms of quality and service - they decided to come up with a solution. They also happen to be the people behind trend-setting websites like Bebo, Birthday Alarm and SpeedDater.
Using their entrepreneurial zest, they've created a service that reinvents the takeaway, allowing customers to order food from top chefs in their neighbourhood and have it delivered to their door.

ALICE Feaver
Head Chef
As an active, much-loved Housebites chef, Alice is our resident Head Chef. She's featured on Masterchef, worked in some of London's top restaurants, and is a brilliant artist. Her role at Housebites HQ is to keep our current chefs happy, to star-spot new chefs, and to help out with all-things-food-related. And she's also in charge of wearing seriously edgy clothing and filling us all in on 'cool' lingo. Follow Alice : Alice's Twitter Page |

LAURA Fernandez
Developer Laura is a Musketeer of the Housebites techie crew. She's a coding whizz, with a Masters in Telecommunication Engineering and Computer Science, and before Housebites were lucky enough to snap her up, she was working for a wine startup in Spain. She's got a wicked sense of humour, dances like a true Spaniard, and is the only Housebites team member cool enough to pull off a tattoo. Follow Laura : Laura's Twitter Page |

NELL Fane
Community & Marketing Manager
Nell is an English Literature grad, and is rarely seen without a bulging notebook in hand. A keen baker, blogger and obsessive traveller, she always offers a creative take on the situation. Nell's our Community Manager, so she's here to keep everyone smiling. Including us. Follow Nell : Nell's Twitter Page |

KENDAL Owens
Recruitment Manager Kendal is a qualified solicitor, who studied Archaeology and Anthropology at university and is fascinated by all things tribal. She’s our Recruitment Manager, so her job is to scout out and recruit the most talented new chefs to join the team; which basically means she’s the (much lovelier) Simon Cowell of Housebites. She’s also the best country dancer in the team, which really is saying something. Follow Kendal : Kendal's Twitter Page |

ANTONIO Reyes
Web Developer Antonio recently completed his degree in Web Development and Business at Kingston University. He's also spent time as an IT assistant at a tour operator. Although that makes him sound like a bit of a techie geek, he's got an incredibly creative mind, and has the ability to spice up any situation by putting a Mexican spin on it.

BRONWYN Barnett
Special Projects Bronwyn takes charge of all things 'events-orientated'. For the last 2 years, she's been studying Management at Northampton Uni, but she's now decided to join the Housebites team, to put her Management skills into action. She's a camping obsessive with a love of cleaning and TV watching. And she's already set up her own small business; all by the age of 20! Follow Bronwyn : Bronwyn's Twitter Page |

JACK Whyles
Logistics Operations at Housebites wouldn't work without Jack! At the age of 24, he's not only got a Business and Law degree under his belt, but he's also had over eight years of restaurant experience too. He's an ideas man with a love of travelling, football and Apple (not the flavour). Oh and he's deaf in his left ear, so has to position his desk at an awkward angle. Follow Jack : Jack's Twitter Page |

ADAM Lilwall
Finance  Adam is our money man. He's currently completing his chartered accountancy certification, and has all the qualifications and experience under the sun, so without him we'd basically be a bit lost. He loves both politics and stand-up comedy (an appropriate mix), and he enjoys sporting man-cardigans around the office.

SOPHIA Demetriou
Account Manager  Sophia is our Events Assistant. Having studied Spanish and Portuguese at Manchester University, she's now working with Housebites Plus customers to ensure that their events are truly memorable, and catered for by the most professional chefs. Sophia's a mad-keen baker, and reckons her Banana Cake recipe could give Mary Berry a run for her money. Follow Sophia : Sophia's Twitter Page |

DENISE Chau
Operations Assistant Denise is our brilliant Operations Assistant. With a Masters in Management and a slightly intimidating Bachelor of Science in Cell Biology & Genetics, she really does mean business. Nothing upsets her more than badly-made sushi, and although she’s the smallest member of the team, she can out-eat all of us. Including the boys. Follow Denise : Denise's Twitter Page |
