The heart and hustle behind Pure Catering, Kellie-Ann Ashton is not just captain to our ship —she’s also a proud mum of five (and recent Noona!), a wine enthusiast, and the woman who built this business from the ground up (often with a baby on her hip and a clipboard in hand).

Originally from Orange, NSW, Kellie-Ann’s love of food and feeding people started early—sparked by her Spanish grandmother Delphine, where every meal was full of flavour and a whole lot of love. That same energy flows through Pure Catering today.

She started Pure Catering when her now-grown children were still in nappies, juggling family life with her dream of running a catering company that puts people first—clients and team. Over a decade later, she’s still just as hands-on, leading with warmth, grit, and an eye for detail that ensures every event runs seamlessly.

Kellie-Ann is also a proud shareholder in the business, and her passion, pride, and fierce loyalty to her team are at the heart of everything we do.

Olivia is the daughter of Pure Catering’s founder, Kellie-Ann—and you could say hospitality runs in her blood. She’s been part of the Pure family since day one, officially joining the team the moment she was legally allowed to work (and unofficially helping long before that!).

Now a proud shareholder in the business, Olivia has grown alongside Pure Catering as it evolved from a small family operation into one of Brisbane’s most trusted catering companies. In her role as Sales & Event Manager, she leads with warmth, creativity, and a deep understanding of what it takes to deliver a seamless client experience—from first enquiry to final menu.

Her dedication to thoughtful communication and genuine connection with clients has become a hallmark of the Pure Catering journey, helping shape not just events, but long-term relationships built on trust and care.

Originally from Old London Town, Jamie brings both world-class training and genuine heart to the Pure Catering kitchen. A classically trained chef who began his career under the legendary Albert Roux, Jamie has had the honour of cooking for some of the world’s most notable names—including members of the Royal Family, Sir David Attenborough, and the Rothschilds.

Since joining Pure Catering in 2018, Jamie has led our kitchen team with passion, precision, and a deep respect for his craft. With experience spanning private clubs, award-winning gastropubs, luxury caterers, and gourmet food trucks, Jamie brings a global perspective to every menu—tailoring each one to create a truly memorable dining experience.

As a proud share holder, what brings Jamie the most joy isn’t just the food itself—it’s seeing the reactions of guests at events. A smile after the first bite, a compliment shared with the waitstaff, or a guest coming back for seconds… those moments of genuine enjoyment are what fuel his creativity and pride. For Jamie, it’s more than just cooking—it’s connection, celebration, and the chance to make every event unforgettable.

Shane is the steady hand behind the scenes, making sure every event runs like clockwork—from the first delivery to the final pack down. As our Event & Logistics Manager, he coordinates transport, setup, and all the moving parts that make Pure Catering events seamless and stress-free.

Shane has been working with Kellie-Ann since 2011, and his loyalty, care, and calm presence have become part of the fabric of the business. He’s not just about getting things from A to B—he’s the one we turn to when a bump in the road needs a creative fix or when a last-minute change calls for cool thinking and quick action.

With a natural talent for problem-solving, an eye for detail, and a quiet pride in every job well done, Shane brings heart, experience, and a whole lot of behind-the-scenes magic to the Pure Catering team.
