He will also attend the ISS Food and Hospitality conference.
Andy Chappell, managing director for ISS Food & Hospitality, said: The relationship with Mark has worked so well over the past 12 months that we were naturally keen to extend it. Mark’s passion for great food has been a real inspiration to our employees and customers alike. His personality and style of cooking using the best available produce reflects our culture as a business.
“The courses he runs for us are always oversubscribed as our people genuinely want to learn from the best. We are delighted to form a long term strategic relationship with Mark to help deliver our objectives as a business.”
