Welbilt is pleased to announce the winner of this year’s LACA Main Event competition to win a brand new Convotherm mini combi oven is the Cyril Jackson School in Tower Hamlets. The primary school has just over 489 pupils aged 4 – 11 and serves 420 meals a day.
Steve Logan, quality assurance and performance development officer – Contract Services, children’s services directorate at Tower Hamlets Council and entrant of the comeptition is delighted that the Cyril Jackson School has been chosen: “We were delighted to win the Convotherm Mini Oven, as this will allow us to steam freshly prepared vegetables and rice, on site, to the Pupils at Cyril Jackson South School, which doesn’t have its own kitchen with cooking facilities. This will also help us maintain our prestigious Food for Life Gold award and we can’t wait for it to be installed.”
Best standards
Logan has been at the Tower Hamlets council for 16 years and works closely with the schools in the area to ensure that the best standards are achieved, including the school’s catering requirements. Contract Services prides itself on providing excellent school lunches for its pupils, having recently achieved the Soil Association’s Food for Life Gold Catering Mark which guarentees that the food served is freshly prepared, free from harmful additives and better for animal welfare. With the addition of the new Convotherm mini combi oven, this will ease workload in the kitchen and provide a simple cooking method for staff.
Steve Hemsil, sales director – UK & Ireland Welbilt is thrilled for the Cyril Jackson School: “We received more entries than we could have imagined for this competition and whilst every application was as deserving as the other, Steve’s entry just stood out for us. We are thrilled to be able to provide the school and its catering team with the Convotherm Mini Mobile as we believe that it will benefit them hugely, and will ease the demands on busy school catering. We look forward to supporting the whole team as they become familiar with their brand new Convotherm mini combi oven.”
The Conovotherm mini combi oven boasts perfect cooking results, low energy consumption and a functional design. With the ability to roast, steam, bake and regenerate; as well as grill and even cook products that would normally require frying, the Convotherm mini is the ultimate small footprint solution where space is at a premium, but high quality food and a varied menu is required.
