The Craft Guild of Chefs has decided to make a number of changes to committee roles to better reflect the work it does and the future role it intends to play.

With the pending Craft Guild Annual General Meeting on 11 April 2021 fast approaching we elect a new committee to serve a one-year term. This is your chance to put something back into the Craft Guild and help shape the future of all that we do and stand for.

A new-look committee is being set up to manage the work of the Craft Guild in the 21st century. For the first time it will include specific roles for committee members to handle: social media, mental welfare and to promote the Guild to young chefs.
