Buzzworks has announced a corporate sponsorship of The Master Chefs of Great Britain, giving chefs across its business access to MCGB’s programme of masterclasses, including opportunities to learn from some of the UK’s most accomplished kitchen professionals.

The tie-up will also create ‘a clear pathway’ for college-level chefs to join Buzzworks and build their careers within the company.

The Master Chefs of Great Britain is a non-profit organisation dedicated to nurturing future culinary talent and supporting chefs throughout their careers.

Director of food at Buzzworks, David Bell, said: “We are incredibly proud to support the work of The Master Chefs of Great Britain. It’s an organisation that aligns perfectly with Buzzworks’ values and our belief in the continuous development of our culinary teams.

“By collaborating closely with MCGB, we’re able to mentor and inspire the next generation of chefs, while also ensuring our teams benefit from the highest level of expertise, training and support.

“This sponsorship will play a vital role in attracting new talent through enhanced training and development opportunities,” said Bell. “It provides a clear pathway for aspiring college-level chefs to join Buzzworks and build long, fulfilling careers across a diverse range of kitchens – from commis chef to head chef and beyond.”

MCGB’s masterclasses will now complement Buzzworks’ own training programme, offering an additional source of inspiration for its kitchen teams.

Bell added: “By strengthening and motivating our culinary teams, we can continue delivering exceptional food and memorable dining experiences for our customers, while contributing to the wider advancement of culinary excellence across the UK.

“As our chefs broaden their skills and expand their culinary repertoire, the masterclasses will further enhance the dining experience and uphold the high standards Buzzworks is known for.”

Buzzworks is currently hiring for a range of front of house and kitchen roles within its portfolio of 22 venues.
