Geoff Booth, National Chair, PACE, said: “In an increasingly challenging environment, we have witnessed exceptional examples of the talented individuals and teams that make up the education sector. We have seen their ability to recruit learners of all ages and deliver innovative and engaging programmes of skills development.
“Above everything else, they are completely focussed and dedicated to ensuring their students receive the best education and training possible. The PACE Awards have revealed numerous examples of creativity and ingenuity that help prepare students for the demands of a career in the hospitality industry. It is also great to see educators and employers working closely together to achieve their common goals.
