@NectaChef A legend of the industry who gave so much of his own time and energy to create opportunities for others!
It’s with a great amount of sadness that we say farewell to Mr NECTA himself! After many years of mentoring, judging & organising Douglas has decided it’s time to pack up the knives & hang up the whites. Thank you Chef for all you have done for the industry.
At this years @NectaChef awards. I saw the camaraderie, the passion in the competition. It was supporting people to be the best they can be. We do that too. Read the full article here 👉 jd4mayor.com/blog/supportin…
@VikkieMorton @sunderlandcol @NorthlandColl @ukseafoodcomp @_CityBistro @NectaChef Couldn't agree more @VikkieMorton and not forgetting overall student award at NECTA. The students have been amazing this week demonstrating not only excellent technical skills but also high levels of professionalism.
What did we all think of the return of NECTA after an extended break?
We've had a fantastic few days judging The North East Culinary and Trade Association @NectaChef #NECTAAwards at the Grand Hotel Gosforth Park! 👨🍳🏆
What a fantastic experience! Today winners were crowned for North East Chef of the Year 🍴 at the @NectaChef Colleges Competition. Students from @NU_Foundation also came along to find out more about the industry and the exciting training opportunities available in our region.
Honoured to compère for the 2nd day with Chef Ian McAndrew, holder of 8 Michelin Star Awards for the NECTA awards at Gosforth Park. @NectaChef @masterchefsgb @thefullrangeltd @LakelandDairies @BidfoodUK @koppertcressUK @MichelinGuideUK
Good luck to all competing in todays competitions. Looking forward to showing off the amazing talent we have in the NE
@robincowings @sunderlandcol @ShereeRymer1 @mcconkey_sarah The look of joy on the students faces is amazing. I wish I could bottle that feeling for them. Taking part in competitions like @NectaChef is so important in developing not only technical skills but also teamwork and resilience which is so important in future careers and life.
