Abstract
Dennis Mwakulua, head chef at the Fujitsu Services head office in Baker Street, London has won Contract Catering Chef 2009 at the Craft Guild of Chefs Awards.
Dennis, who has worked with Compass Group UK & Ireland since 2005 and, through Eurest Services, has provided hospitality at Fujitsu Services for over three years, had to fulfil several criteria to impress the panel of judges. The award recognises excellence in food quality, innovation, training and development and is specifically for workplace caterers. The judging panel, comprising specialists from various areas of catering, previous winners and recognised industry professionals, commended Dennis for his "enthusiasm for his craft, his dedication and professionalism to food quality and his support for the food industry in general." Dennis said: "To be nominated by my peers and judged by the best in the industry reassures me that hard work, belief in yourself and pushing the boundaries pays off. I am very proud to have received such an important award." This is the second year in which a Compass chef has scooped the title of Contract Caterer Chef award; in 2008 Andy Aston from Restaurant Associates was given the Craft Guild of Chefs dinner jacket for the same award.
