‘Over the time I have been a part of the catering sector, I have seen the responsibilities of chef’s multiply; particularly in the domain of kitchen health and safety. As part of our vision for Network Hygiene, we aim to make your job as a caterer easier by providing sound advice and guidance. We have added some useful resources here and please feel free to contact me personally if I can be of any help.’
