The ACE Robyns Award has been created by the ACE committee in memory of Robyn Jones OBE, founder of CH&Co, who sadly died in September 2015. Robyn was known for her tireless work in the mentoring, training and development of young talent. These new awards will put the spotlight on the next generation of the industry, something Robyn was always at the forefront of.
These awards aim to recognise up-and-coming talent in all aspects of contract catering, from chefs to marketers and from butlers to business development staff. Entries are now open and people can either nominate themselves or be nominated by a colleague. The awards are open to talented team members aged 35 and under who truly have what it takes to make a real difference in the industry, whether that’s cooking, serving or driving a business forward.
There will be 12 finalists shortlisted and the overall winner will be announced at the ACE Summer Event which is being held on a Bateaux London Cruise on the 21st July.
Entrants and managers have until 20th May to submit their entry or nomination. Not only will the winner receive dinner and an overnight stay at The Shard, they will also enjoy champagne, lifetime membership of ACE and be the first to join the ACE Robyns Hall of Fame.
