We were delighted that Andy Kemp, Arena’s Chairman, was able to present the 2006 Arena Accolade to a most worthy winner, at the Manufacturers’ Lunch on Monday, 24 April.
Cyrus Todiwala, MBE is a renowned Chef Patron and one who has, for many years, rendered great service to our Industry.
Whilst it was not easy judging between the many very impressive nominations, the three Judges – Mat Baker of P&G Professional ; Peter Hazzard of Chaddlewood Consulting (last year’s Winner) ; and Richard Lago of NHA Pursuit ; reached a unanimous decision to award the 2006 Arena Accolade to Cyrus.
Accompanied by his wife Pervin, Cyrus knew nothing of the pending award when he accepted an invitation to attend the Lunch, so the announcement came as a total surprise. Naomi ARNOLD – Founding Director of Arena, and non-voting Chairman of the Judging Panel.
