Matthew has a decade and a half of experience in the hospitality industry and has worked across the world, from a local bar to seven-star hotel and everything in between. 

He has trained in the world-leading bars and has contributed to the vibrant cocktail scene in London, where he worked for Joel Robuchon at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon, a two Michelin Star restaurant, the incomparable Soho House and Buddha Bar, London. He helmed the bar operations for Q43 in Dubai next, as well as Mahiki, before moving to Kuala Lumpur where he was Head of Mixology at KL Cocktail Co.  

Matthew has an unquenchable appetite for all things connected to food and especially drink. Whether it be sipping exquisite cocktails at the Savoy in London or toasting with grandma’s moonshine, he is always up for a new experience and a good time. He has been a professional drinker for a decade and a half, and can link almost any subject to alcohol, because he cares… about good drinks.
