Kevin Collett had been with leading contract caterer Elior for five years when he moved to the then Elior run Café At-Bristol which was housed inside top science and discovery-based visitor attraction At-Bristol (now We the Curious).

Heartlands is a World Heritage Gateway site in the former mining heart of Cornwall.
