Participating colleges will benefit from £21,200 in prizes, funded by the Savoy Educational Trust and delivered by Nestlé Professional as part of their shared commitment to supporting education, training and skills development in the hospitality sector.
Through this partnership, Nestlé Professional will reward colleges at each stage of the 2025 Toque d’Or competition, driving positive change across the industry. These rewards include:
- National Heats: 48 front and back of house competitors, £150 per student, totalling £7,200 across participating colleges
- Grand Finals: 12 front and back of house competitors, £1,000 per student, totalling £12,000 awarded to all participating colleges
- Winning Colleges: An additional £1,000 for the winning colleges
The prize money, awarded directly to participating colleges, must be redeemed through Russums for hospitality equipment, ensuring it directly benefits training and skills development.
Angela Maher, chief executive of The Savoy Educational Trust, said: “We are delighted to continue our support of the Nestlé Toque d’Or competition in 2025.
“By awarding prizes to all students reaching the National Heats, Grand Finals and for the Winning Colleges, we aim to recognise excellence, encourage participation, and help equip future hospitality professionals for success. We look forward to seeing the positive impact of this funding on the next generation of industry talent.”
