The relationship is built on a mutual passion for Welsh produce and a desire to contribute to a more sustainable future for producers.

James said: “I’ve always championed as much local and Welsh produce as possible, and JPC initially asked me if I would come on board to design a bespoke menu and dining experience for a special high-end tasting lunch. It was a great success which showcased the best of Welsh produce, and I was pleased to be able to add a Michelin-starred experience to the event. I look forward to working on more exciting projects with JPC.”

JPC work with global companies to deliver a spectrum of workplace catering solutions, including tailored high-end fine dining experiences. It prides itself on using and championing quality local produce across all regions and it’s sustainability to develop workplace catering concepts and food services that align with the company’s ‘We Care’ ethos.

Louise Owens, managing director of JPC, added: “We don’t see workplace catering as traditional canteen food; to us, it’s a daily dining experience. We develop food concepts and provide food that excite and entice using the freshest, seasonal ingredients.

“Employers and their employees are increasingly looking for flavoursome, nutritious and flexible workplace dining options that are in tune with today’s desires and lifestyles. We stay ahead of the latest food trends, and we pride ourselves too on our ability to save costs and reduce budgets and understand this is an important factor in light of the unprecedented times we face.

“Our philosophy is to work with local producers and regional suppliers because we truly believe that everyone from within the communities in which we work should benefit economically, socially and environmentally from our workplace catering solutions.”
