Head of World Association of Cooks Societies extols J&W

"As I reflect upon my career one of the major highlights has been my long association with Johnson & Wales University and the opportunity it gave me to become involved with such a well respected institution.

"The facilities, curriculum and the faculty make it head and shoulders above the rest, yet the real proof of the pudding as they say is the quality of students that graduate. In this regard Johnson & Wales can feel very proud of its thousands upon thousands of graduates that hold senior positions not only throughout America but indeed around the world.

"With tourism and hospitality becoming one of the world's major industry sectors the need for quality recruits is never more apparent than it is today, and employers are constantly seeking the best in class. The trusted name of Johnson & Wales guarantees a high quality, well groomed, young professional, ready to become an important part of our industry.

"Being part of the Distinguished Chefs programme gave me the wonderful opportunity to work with both the students and lecturers — and more importantly a valuable insight to the culture and philosophy of Johnson & Wales."
