Essential Cuisine: Training Programme
Essential Cuisine production director Jamie McGregor said: “It gave everyone at Essential Cuisine some external recognition that what we were doing was good. It motivated us to continue doing what we were doing. Everyone was lifted by the award. It was thrilling that a small company like ourselves could win a National award, competing against household names that had been in business for a much longer time.”
“Our customers and suppliers are always impressed when they come to Essential Cuisine and notice the award, and are inquisitive about what we had done to win it.”
