The Association of Catering Excellence (ACE) has appointed Jon Hewett as chairman.

Hewett, who is business development director at Restaurant Associates, formerly Compass Fine Dining, replaces former chairman Norman Deas.

A spokes woman for ACE said: “One of Hewett’s first jobs will be to host the ACE conference on 21 June, which will include former Olympic athlete Roger Black, chef-proprietors Oliver Rowe and Michael Caines, and will be chaired by Chess Executive managing director Chris Sheppardson.”
