Huge congratulations to our Head Chef Anand Dube, who has been named FoodQuad’s Team Player of the Year!👏
Many of our alumni, students, staff and guests have enjoyed the wonderful food prepared by Anand and his team over the years, and we are delighted to see his hard work and dedication recognised in this way.
Anand says: “Winning Team Player of the Year from FoodQuad, the catering procurement consortium that brings together over 30 Oxford colleges is a massive honour. Sourcing food in a collegiate environment is a unique balancing act, we have to maintain our historic high-table traditions and daily student hall services while meeting strict sustainability and budgetary targets. Because FoodQuad connects us to a massive network of trusted suppliers and e-procurement logistics, my role is all about being the dependable operational link. This award recognises the day-to-day problem solving, the smooth supplier coordination, and the cross-departmental teamwork required to keep our supply chain flawless during our absolute busiest terms. No kitchen can run in isolation, and to be recognised by our purchasing partners for supporting the wider college community means an enormous amount to me and my team”.
