Jonathan Mark Quinn has been married for 35 years. They have a son and daughter and grandson Daniel, Emma and Tommy.
Born and raised in Stockport and on leaving school went to High Peak Catering College in Buxton. Working as a chef in a number of places he settled back in one of Stockport’s best Italian restaurants. After a few years as head chef he found teaching was so rewarding he became a support worker for children in the looked after system specialising in food technology. 5 years later he had another change moving to the George and Dragon Ilfracombe to run his own business in June 2004.
Having worked hard trying to keep top standards in hospitality led him to a path to being a hub of the community hosting group meetings and raising funds for so many causes and charities.
Sponsored walks, race nights and his renown quizzes have raised for Ilfracombes community nearly £180,000.
Jon was elected to represent Ilfracombe West at North Devon Council in May 2023.
"I want to be a voice to champion our coastal beauty spot and to influence the resources we deserve from the district council." Jon Quinn
