Tanya Ednan-Laperouse OBE, co-founder of the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation, was the recipient of the Women of the Year Game Changer Award. She was recognised at the recent Women of the Year 2024 Lunch and Awards, in honour of her exceptional contributions to improving food safety and advocating for people living with allergies.
Recognising Ednan-Laperouse’s transformative impact on the industry, a coalition of companies came together to sponsor the award. In addition to nominees Elior UK, caterers including Aramark, BaxterStorey, Compass and CH&CO supported the award. This unprecedented collaboration underscores the catering community's unified commitment to supporting her mission to improve food safety and to honouring her incredible achievements.
'Progress we have made'
Catherine Roe, chief executive officer of Elior UK and a member of the Women of the Year Board, spearheaded the nomination. She said: "At Elior, we’ve seen first-hand how challenging it was for the catering industry to adapt to the requirements of Natasha's Law. Tanya's determination has transformed not just regulations but attitudes toward food safety, educating both businesses and the public on the importance of clear labelling.”
Ednan-Laperouse added: "I am honoured to be nominated for the Women of the Year Game Changer Award. Our work at the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation is far from over, but this recognition is testament to the progress we have made and the lives we are striving to protect."
