The winners were Lucy Gouge, aged 9, from Five Ways Primary School in Cannock, Staffordshire, and Sophie Taylor Keates, aged 10, from Glenthorne Community Primary School in Walsall, Staffordshire. Both winners received a new tablet, £250 worth of food vouchers for their school and their artwork will be displayed on a Creed lorry.
The competition invited primary and secondary children across the UK, who attend schools which use CMC School Catering, to draw a new food-inspired design around the theme of ‘what does healthy eating mean to you’.
Phil Vickery MBE, former England rugby international, celebrity MasterChef winner and non-executive director at Creed Foodservice, congratulated Lucy and Sophie last week when they were presented with their prizes and saw the lorry with their design on it for the first time.
Miles Roberts, sales and marketing director at Creed Foodservice, said: “The role food plays within schools is so important with regards to children’s health, nutritional intake and productivity during the day, so we wanted to find an engaging and fun way to shine a light on this.
“This is the first time that we have ever featured artwork on one of our lorries that has been designed by schoolchildren, and we’re very pleased with the results; they are both incredibly worthy winners. CMC has been a customer of ours for over five years and, as a valued partner, has been fantastic to collaborate with on this project.”
Lucy Gouge’s winning design featured a heart shape made up of colourful fruit and vegetables with a popping orange Creed logo in the centre.
Sophie Taylor Keates’ design was a bright and bold take on the word ‘Creed’ with each letter made up of different fruit and vegetables such as strawberries, bananas and carrots.
The winning designs will be displayed on the Creed lorry for the duration of the 2021/22 academic year.
