The Apprentice of the Year is supported by John Gilbert and last year’s winner was Tyler Speight of Advance Group. All entrants making the shortlist will receive an invitation to the Conference and the Gala dinner, with overnight accommodation and travel costs.
Along with the prestige of the award, this year the winner takes home a £1,000 cash prize and a bursary covering the cost of participating in FEA’s Principles of Foodservice (PFS) and Certified Food Service Professional (CFSP) courses.
Entry is open to new starters, apprentices, and trainees from any discipline within a FEA member company. To nominate an entrant, and for information about the award, visit: fea.org.uk/involvement/apprentice-of-the-year.
The Charitable Endeavour Awards are sponsored by Meiko, with three categories, covering company, team, and individual. Submissions can be for standalone events or ongoing charitable work.
Last year’s winners included Unox, whose team raised £22,000 for the Burnt Chef Project by carrying a 150kg combi oven almost to the summit of Ben Nevis. To enter your company, team, or individual visit: fea.org.uk/involvement/charitable-endeavour-award.
