Anglian Larder was delighted to take part in Suffolk New College’s Careers Festival Week, delivering an engaging and interactive experience designed to highlight the exciting opportunities within hospitality and contract catering.
The event brought industry professionals and learners together, creating an open space for students to ask questions, gain insight, and better understand the opportunities the sector can offer. Conversations focused on career pathways, progression opportunities, and the variety of roles that make up the modern hospitality industry.
A highlight of the day was a talk from one of WSH’s apprentices, who shared a personal perspective on starting a career through an apprenticeship. Speaking honestly about their experience, they explained how apprenticeships offer the chance to earn while learning, build practical skills, and develop a rewarding career within hospitality. Their enthusiasm made a strong impression on students considering their future options.
Alongside these discussions, Anglian Larder specialists delivered engaging sessions that brought hospitality skills to life. A nutritionist shared practical advice on healthy eating and drinking, helping students understand how nutrition supports energy, focus, and overall wellbeing.
Students also enjoyed a live chef demonstration showcasing modern cooking techniques and creativity in the kitchen. The session highlighted the skill, innovation, and passion behind professional catering, giving learners a glimpse into the dynamic nature of the industry.
For Anglian Larder, participating in the Careers Festival Week was a fantastic opportunity to connect with learners, share knowledge, and inspire the next generation of hospitality professionals.
The response from Suffolk New College was extremely positive:
“Thank you and the whole team – what a fantastic experience for the learners. They really did enjoy themselves.”
“A fantastic cookery demo filled with excellent and current knowledge from industry.”
“I am really looking forward to working with you all again soon.”
