Compass celebrates Forward with Marcus Wareing programme

Compass Group UK and Ireland recently held a celebration event for its Forward with Marcus Wareing programme. The aim was to share learnings and showcase the journey of all cohorts so far.

Held at Twickenham stadium, and attended by over 70 people, the event was opened by Jon Davies, managing director of Levy UK and Ireland, and Ryan Holmes, culinary director B&I for Compass Group UK and Ireland, who spoke on a panel with Wareing. They discussed the Forward manifesto, how the journey began and how the programme has evolved since launch in 2021.

Jonathon Foot, head of apprenticeships and early careers for Compass Group UK and Ireland, said: “The event has been a celebration of supporting our senior culinary talent and taking their skills to the next level. The feedback we get from those that take part is so valuable, and days like these are important in bringing us together, acknowledging the journey these participants have been on and celebrating their learnings. 

Wareing added: “Having all the Forward programme chefs in one place was so rewarding. It has been a pleasure to watch their talent develop and grow, and I am very proud of them all.”
