Founded by managing director David Bryant, the scheme is designed to thank The Craft Guild of Chefs, The Federation of Chefs Scotland, The Culinary Association of Wales and The British Culinary Federation, and help them continue to support chefs in need.

Bryant explained: “Its important to us that these four organisations are able to continue the great work they do supporting professional chefs. Not only do they help struggling chefs when they need it most, they also keep the industry thriving all year round and without them, it would be a very different place.

“We are always grateful for their work and support, and this scheme is our way of thanking them.

“This year, we were able to donate an amazing £2,500 to each organisation and would like to thank all our customers for making this possible.

“Working as a true partner to UK aspiring chefs is in our DNA and seeing each of the four organisations always incredibly grateful for the donation we give them, makes it all worthwhile.”
