We are delighted that General Manager, @‌Glenn Wilson has been nominated for an ACE Robyns Award.
‌
The ACE Robyns Award was created by the ACE committee in memory of Robyn Jones OBE, founder of CH&Co, who sadly died in September 2015. Robyn was known for her tireless work in the mentoring, training and development of young talent.
‌
The award recognises up-and-coming talent in all aspects of contract catering, from chefs to marketers and from butlers to business development staff. The awards are open to talented team members aged 35 and under who truly have what it takes to make a real difference in the industry, whether that’s cooking, serving or driving a business forward.
‌
We asked Glenn about how important this nomination is to him,
“When I found out that I had both been nominated by Vacherin and then shortlisted for the award I was thrilled. I was always inspired seeing my peers and colleagues nominated for awards like this which celebrate young talent in our industry, and seeing what they go on to do.” Glenn.
‌
Congratulations to Glenn, we wish you luck for the final!

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Vacherin's first contract opening, we are delighted that The Caterer has chosen to run a cover feature on us and our journey.

It’s been 2 decades that have seen huge changes in our market and our company, but the constant throughout this time has been our ethos of a commitment to bringing fabulous food, innovation, sustainability, fun and above all a personal touch to a discerning London customer base. It’s no coincidence that that very first client remains a client today!

International Women’s Day 2023 is focused on raising awareness about why we must embrace equity and not just equality. An equity-based approach takes into account the diverse lived experiences of individuals so that we can tailor the support we give to each and every woman to enable them to thrive.

Paula O’Neill, our Vacherin Food Director, knows how important giving any equitable opportunity is in achieving real positive change for women.

The chef world is notoriously tough, and being a woman in this line of career brings its own unique challenges. Paula has drawn on her own experiences and success to set up a Vacherin Women In Food group to offer tailored advice and assistance to help more women succeed and go on to have successful careers in food. This month's theme of 'Finding Balance' is a perfect example of trying to find equitable solutions to challenges in the workplace.

Paula says, “I am lucky to work with inspiring women every day. We need to work together to support and develop women across the food industry, ensuring that talent is nurtured, encouraged and rewarded.”

Vacherin not only celebrates International Women’s Day, but we are consistently working to make meaningful positive changes to women's lives.

Alex Rowe, started out working in kitchens nearly 30 years ago, aged 14 peeling and chopping the vegetables in his local restaurant. As Head of Culinary Operations, he now manages the Vacherin Food Team to inspire and help them deliver them a huge range of projects across the business. We sat down together to find out a bit little more.

Why did you join Vacherin?

AR: First and foremost, the people! They have drive and passion for food and food service which shows in everything they do. Vacherin invest in people which allows them to flourish and be creative in every aspect of their roles. I have great pride in working for Vacherin and being part of the culture, we are creating as a business. We are one big family striving for success.

What’s your favourite thing to cook?

AR: It has to be steak! The perfectly cooked steak is just … amazing!

The best meal you’ve ever had?

AR: Now there is a question! I am lucky enough to have had a few, out of this world meals in my time but one of the best all round experiences for me was at “The Square” with Philip Howard. A tasting menu and 7 courses of just…. heaven!

Your foodie secret?

AR: My love for cooking comes from my Nan and as a child, every Sunday, we sat down to a traditional roast dinner and one of the best things I ever learnt to cook from my Nan was how to make the “BEST ROAST POTATOES EVER”! I still get calls today from friends and family asking how to make them the way I do and on Christmas day this year, friends of friends were sharing pictures with me, showing me how their potatoes had turned out which makes me smile every time. I do make a great roasty if I do say so myself 😊
