He joins some of the most respected names in hospitality including Raymond Blanc OBE, Cherish Finden, Tom Kerridge and John Williams. Membership of the Academy is by peer nomination and is a mark of exceptional skill, leadership and commitment to the industry.
Adam Byatt, chairman of RACA, said: "Pete’s culinary ethos embodies our mission of leading the hospitality profession by example and shaping its future through education. As BM’s chef director Pete is well placed to recognise talent, lead by example and inspire the next generation of chefs."
Education and development are central to life at BM. Through innovation days, masterclasses, workshops and access to fully funded apprenticeships, BM creates opportunities for teams to learn, share ideas and grow. Regular supplier field trips give chefs valuable insight into the benefits of sourcing seasonally and locally.
Redman added: "I was accepted as a member of The Royal Academy of Culinary Arts which is a huge honour. I’m looking forward to future opportunities to collaborate with Adam and fellow RACA members to promote the mission of the Academy."
