It's #WaterSavingWeek2022 with

So Jim Wealands has shared one of his favourite Vegetarian recipes with us, hopefully helping you to make one simple swap. Jim said: "This Mushroom Shawarma and Tahini Flatbread with Jalapeño Salsa will have you doubting if it's vegetarian.

As #NationalVegetarianWeek comes to a close we look at how the Vegetarian Society is encouraging people to make some changes, even if it's just one meal a week! 🌱

We’re excited to welcome them all to the CH&CO family and I can’t wait to see their careers and bright futures unfold with us." Congratulations once again to all of our graduates.

Rob Fredrickson, Managing Director for CH&CO Leisure, who spoke at the graduation ceremony said: “Huge congratulations to the 2022 graduates. They’ve all shown fantastic energy, dedication and a real desire to learn throughout their traineeship.

The

eight-week trainee course is accredited by the Specialty Coffee Association. Each graduate has gained the globally recognised Foundation Barista Skills qualification, plus Level 2 in both Customer Service and Food Service. ☕️

The graduation ceremony took place at RSA House, where our team, the Well Grounded team and coffee industry colleagues gathered as graduates showcased their learnings by running a pop-up coffee shop and shared their personal journeys ahead of moving into employment at CH&CO.

Our Well Grounded Barista trainees are now graduates! 🎓 After eight weeks of training, dedication and 4 weeks of work placement across 12 of our sites, we got to celebrate with our trainees on their graduation day.

It is really important to our sustainable sourcing strategy that we are working with partners who are taking an active role in the ESG agenda." Congratulations

With sustainability at the heart of what we do, partnering with suppliers who share our values is crucial. Samantha Davis added: "We are thrilled that our coffee partner Union Coffee has become a B Corp.

Our coffee supplier for many of our
