The Brains - Maree Sigurdson Tea Tree Crêperie’s menu and both preparation and presentation techniques were created by Cordon Bleu trained and certified Executive Chef Maree Sigurdson, who has over four decades of catering experience under her belt. Growing up in Winnipeg, Canada she had 4 older siblings who she would cook for. |
|
| Maree recalls crying to her mother that her brothers “ate all the food!” and there was none left for her parents. Her mother replied “Dear, it’s when they DON’T finish it that you should cry!” Using that episode as a mantra of sorts, Maree’s goal is for each and every person she caters for to always clean their plates. As the former wife of one of Canada’s most decorated diplomats, she’s travelled the globe and lived in half a dozen countries, wining and dining an incredibly wide array of individuals from almost every nation with every type of palette. She insists on using only the freshest, highest quality ingredients available to us at any given time. “Subpar” is not in her vocabulary. | ||

The Beauty - Carrie "Quizz" Sigurdson “If I don’t think it’s going to be the best, I won’t do it.” The look, sound and feel of Tea Tree Crêperie comes down to the Marketing Manager, Carrie Sigurdson. Having majored in Advertising Design at York University in Toronto, she lives to brand and brands to live, marketing on an entirely different level than the competition. |
|
| She is a trusted Jamaican entertainment and media consultant and successful event promoter with over 15 years of hands on experience. Carrie knows exactly what it takes to reel in the consumer and keep them there. | ||

The Braun - Oliver Hardie Oliver is our Operations Manager and resident charming salesman. Growing up between London and Kingston, he was raised by a successful but ruthless businessman and was Managing Director of his father’s commercial transport company by age 23. Since then he's dabbled in real estate, event promotion, hospitality, acting and television. |
| These days he has settled nicely into his role of Restaurateur and has big plans for Tea Tree. Strategic planning is his strong suit and getting the flagship in Montego Bay up and running is his latest mission. If you need it done, he’ll find the best way to do it and if he can’t get it done today, he’ll get it done tomorrow. | ||
