Eagle Boys appoints Stuart Gray as New Product Development Manager

Stuart brings with him more than 20 years of experience in the food industry.

Australia’s second largest pizza maker has appointed Stuart Gray as its New Product Development Manager and Executive Chef.

From royalty to cavalry, Stuart has seen more than his fair share of food from around the globe, and drawing from his experiences with the Queen, British Army and Neil Perry he will now make his first mark on the Eagle Boys’ menu.

Stuart was selected after an extensive search and will be responsible for delivering menu innovation focusing on real taste, real size and real value.

Eagle Boys Pizza CEO Todd Clayton said Stuart brought a wealth of experience to the role, together with a fresh approach and original menu ideas.

“Stuart will be in the kitchen developing new products, toppings and experimenting with daring ingredient combinations to provide the innovative, quality products Eagle Boys customers have come to expect,” he said.

Stuart has more than 20 years’ experience in the food industry having also worked as Development Chef for the UK’s Henry Denny & Sons (Kerry Foods), and then Green Isle Foods (Northern Foods), after his stint in the Army.

He moved to Australia in 2008 for consultancy work, before becoming Development Chef for Qantas in Brisbane, where he worked with acclaimed celebrity chef Neil Perry’s team to transform restaurant recipes into meals that could be flown on board the Australian airline carrier.

He holds City & Guilds certificates in catering, Campden & Chorleywood pastry & development chef certificates, the Army School of Catering chef certificate, as well as a Diploma in Hotel & Catering, and Certificates in human nutrition, butchery, and hospitality.
