Huge congratulations to our incredible Catering and Hospitality students who celebrated at our awards lunch 🥂. Your hard work, dedication, and culinary talents have shone brightly all year and we are thrilled to see the progress that you have made. For those that are returning next year we wish you a well earned summer rest, and for those that are leaving we wish you the very best of luck in the next steps of your career. You’ve made us all very proud!

Finally, we would like to say a big thank you to our guests. Your constant support throughout the academic year helps provide a real world experience for our learners, and your generosity with the gratuities you leave have helped directly fund the prizes and awards that recognise the hard work and effort of all our learners.

A big thank you to our learners for your incredible hard work as well, with many customers commenting about the development that you have all shown over the course of the last few months. You really have done yourselves proud!
