The Chefs’ Forum held a convention at Bournemouth & Poole College recently which majored on sustainable fish. The Chefs' Forum is an exciting quarterly event that brings top chefs and local producers together as they showcase new techniques and share knowledge and experience within the catering industry. The use of sustainable fish in cooking is key if we are to leave resources for future generations to eat fish.
A new diesel generator, donated by Caterpillar Marine in Ferndown, will be a superb teaching aid for trainees in the Marine Technology department at the college. Representatives from Caterpillar Marine handed over the machine to mark its developing links with the college.
Last year, for the first time in 25 years, Caterpillar Marine employed two talented Engineering Apprentices through the college, Jordon Ostler and Kieran Phillips. Jordon and Kieran were on hand during last week’s National Apprenticeship Week to welcome the new generator.
A unique overnight bake-off by Hospitality and Catering students at The Bournemouth & Poole College has raised over £340 for Sport Relief 2014.
