Under the partnership, The Guild will be using Delphis Eco’s non-toxic cleaning products at major competitions it runs throughout the year, including the Graduate Awards, The British Culinary Championships (replacing Wessex Salon Culinaire) and Skills for Chefs.

Delphis Eco will also be supplying a hamper of goodies for winners of each of The Guild’s competitions – recognising the overall hygiene winner – in addition to sponsoring chef’s jackets for The Guild’s contests.

Andrew Green, chief executive of the Craft Guild of Chefs, said: “Spotless hygiene is a vital part of what chefs are taught today. Consumers demand and expect the highest standards, and rightly so. We’re delighted to partner with Delphis Eco which mirrors our values for ‘clean yet green’ as operators move towards ecologically kind products that also have strong efficacy.

“And we have a lot of synergies. What may not be commonly known, is that Delphis products are Royal warrant holders supplying two Royal households as well as winning the Queens Award for Enterprise for Sustainable Development last year.

"The products are truly excellent. Not only is Delphis Eco sponsoring our chefs’ jackets, which look really smart and professional, but it’s also a ‘made in Britain’ brand which is something that we feel is important and want to support.”

Representing best practice in sustainable hygiene, Delphis Eco’s products are plant-based, vegan, bio-degradable and non-harmful to users and the environment, yet incredibly powerful and effective.

Mark Jankovich, chief executive of Delphis Eco, added: “We are excited to be working with the Craft Guild of Chefs and to have the platform to be able to raise the profile of our eco-friendly and sustainable cleaning products with The Guild’s chefs.

“It’s also excellent to be working alongside some of the younger student chefs at The Guild as the next generation is vitally important to the environment as we all look to combat climate change in the years’ ahead. We are confident that they will quickly realise that our products are as effective as their toxic counterparts and see the benefit in buying sustainable cleaning products.”
