Essential Cuisine raises £2K for the Culinary Ability Awards

The Staff Canteen

Essential Cuisine has raised £2,000 for the Culinary Ability Awards, the not-for-profit social enterprise that champions people with disabilities working in the hospitality industry.

Nigel Crane, Managing Director for Essential Cuisine, said: “It was another great year for us at Hotelympia, with our stand proving popular across the four days. This is evident from the number of sample pots of the Asian range we gave away, and the total we raised for the Culinary Ability Awards as a result.

“We could not be more proud to be associated with the Culinary Ability Awards, a fantastic charity which is close to all our hearts. The work they do helping individuals with disabilities break into our industry is admirable and

goes to show that everyone deserves a chance to shine in this fantastic industry.”

The sum was raised over four days at the Hotelympia 2016 during the launch of its new range of Asian stocks. By pledging £1 for every Asian sample pot it gave away to chefs and caterers at the event, the company raised a grand total of £2000.

The funds will now go directly to the Culinary Ability Awards, as the organisation begins to realise its long term goal of becoming an official hospitality training provider for people with disabilities.
