Hospitality Heroes, organised by Kraft Heinz in partnership with Arena, has returned for a second year and hospitality workers have until 5pm on 30 June 2020 to submit their entries. 

The winner will receive £500 towards a charity of their choice as well as a seat on the Arena committee for 12 months and tickets to its networking events. Entrants must be under 35 on 1 October 2020.

Claire Traynor, head of Foodservice Northern Europe, said: “We are delighted to be back with 57 Hospitality Heroes, celebrating the exceptional ‘extracurricular’ contributions being made by young people across the foodservice and hospitality industry. 

“We believe ‘growing a better world’ means working to improve our planet, its people and the communities where we work and live. And that’s why we value this competition and the chance to celebrate the efforts of those making a positive impact."

Leo Kattou, head chef of Simpsons Restaurant and last years Hospitality Heroes winner, added: “I'm a huge advocate of what winners can gain from this experience. Encouraging people to give something back by volunteering is a fantastic initiative. If you or someone you know goes that extra mile outside of their day job, then enter.”

Three finalists will be invited to the Arena Christmas event in December 2020, at Kraft Heinz offices in The Shard, where a judging panel will announce the winner.
