Rankin announced as FutureChef champion

Sep 20, 2022

Michelin Star chef Shaun Rankin has been announced as the next Springboard FutureChef champion and will be helping to mentor, support and guide young participants through the competition programme. He will be working alongside other hospitality industry heavyweights, including Jean-Christophe Novelli, Chris MacLeod and David Mulcahy.

Springboard’s FutureChef programme is the charity’s flagship educational programme. It sits alongside a wide range of employability programmes designed for young people to help build their employability and soft skills, also while giving them the confidence to kickstart a career in hospitality.

Rankin said: “The Future of hospitality is in young people’s hands. I am delighted to be a FutureChef Champion and inspire the chefs of tomorrow, just as those inspired me.”

Chris Gamm, CEO of Springboard, added: “Inspiring the next generation of hospitality stars is vital for the sector’s recovery post-Covid. We are still unstaffed after the employment crisis, and our FutureChef competition aims to entice young people into the sector by equipping them with the basic skills and knowledge needed to carve out a successful career in hospitality.”
