Nourish Contract Catering owner Annette Ryan Murphy with staff from her company after been announced as British Public Sector Catering award winners recently
A LAOIS woman who made Britain her home almost 25-years ago scooped major national Public Sector Catering awards recently.
Mountmellick woman Annette Ryan Murphy started off her career studying catering at AIT in Athlone before moving to Britain. Over the past 20-years Ms Ryan Murphy has built up a thriving business - Nourish Contract Catering - that provides fresh, nutritious meals to over 180 schools throughout London, the South East, and Norfolk.
At the outset she was joined by another Mountmellick native David Kearns, also from Acragar, who studied catering at AIT and who now heads up the catering company as its Executive Chef.
The company was recently honoured with three Public Sector Catering awards that recognised the company’s commitment to delivering high-quality, wholesome food to school communities.
The achievement has now encouraged her to take the next step and bring her expertise and passion for real food back home to Ireland.
David Kearns said: “Our goal is simple. To move away from the current model of packaged meals and instead serve fresh, wholesome, nutritious meals plated properly for students. We believe Irish schools deserve better. Real food on a real plate, not a cardboard box.”
