To celebrate National KP day, a twitter campaign has been launched via @kpoftheyear encouraging chefs & managers to tweet photos of Kitchen Porters using the hashtag #kpday.
For each of the first 1,000 photos tweeted, £1 will be donated to Springboard, a charity that helps young, the unemployed and those facing barriers to work into sustainable employment in the hospitality, leisure and tourism industry.
The 2015 KP of the Year competition is now also open for entries and prizes include £1,000 cash and a celebratory meal for the KP and their friends and family.
The winner’s place of work will win a prize too, in the shape of one of Winterhalter’s warewash products worth up to £8,000.
The deadline for entries is August 9th 2015 and the winner will be announced in September.
