Congratulations to Daniel Cox who has made history by becoming the first contract catering chef to win the Roux Scholarship.
Cox, who can be seen in action with the other finalists on Caterer TV, works for Compass Group’s Restaurant Associates (RA) at investment bank UBS.
He was crowned 2008 Roux Scholar at an award reception at London’s Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park on Monday evening (21 April).
RA, Compass’s fine dinning division, has been fighting contract catering’s corner well this year adding a rare Michelin star to the sector’s honours for its joint-venture with Gary Rhodes, Rhodes W1, at the Cumberland hotel in London this January.
Compass’s team of chefs also enjoyed a record-breaking stint of competing at February’s Hotelympia show.
