If
your KP is a star performer or a kitchen ninja, nominate them!
Isn’t it time your KPs got a
bit of recognition for all their hard work?
The warewashing gurus at Winterhalter are searching for the 2022 Kitchen
Porter of the Year and are looking to encourage as many entries as
possible.
“The huge affection that
chefs, managers and colleagues feel for their KPs is evident from the entries
that flood in every year,” says Stephen Kinkead, managing director of Winterhalter
UK. “And you should see the winners’
faces light up when they find out about the award! It’s such a pleasure to be involved in this
event.”
The first KP of the Year was
awarded way back in 2013, to Bartek Malek of the Jumeirah Carlton Tower Hotel
in Knightsbridge, whose executive chef, Simon Young, described him as “the star
performer of our team.” The latest
winner, in 2019, was Davie Fleetham of BaxterStorey at RBS in Edinburgh, who
said, “To be recognised like this is
amazing.” In 2016 the winner, Mick
Dunn of Rubens at the Palace, was described by his nominator as ‘a kitchen ninja’. Mick said, “It’s a
privilege and an honour to be voted for in such a prestigious event.”
Closing
date for entries is 29th July. The
awards will be judged by a panel of top foodservice industry names. To enter your KP, simply visit
kpoftheyear.com, click on the ‘nominate’ button and fill in the short form.
The
2022 KP of the Year will receive the prestigious trophy, £1,000 cash and a celebratory
meal for family and friends at a restaurant in their area. Plus, their working life gets easier, since
the winner’s kitchen gets a brand new Winterhalter warewasher! Two runners up receive cash prizes and every
entrant is a winner, since they all receive an exclusive KP of the Year apron
in a presentation tin.
