Michelin star chef Nigel Haworth has joined forces with contract caterer BaxterStorey to help strengthen and expand its regional presence.

Haworth will work alongside Michelin star chef John Campbell to deliver BaxterStorey's fresh food focused training which includes the company's chef academy.

Training sessions with Haworth will be open to BaxterStorey's teams operating across the North of England and Campbell will support the company's teams located in the South-East, providing them with a more accessible base for development.

Alastair Storey, chief executive, BaxterStorey, said: "We're working towards establishing a core team of the nation's most highly acclaimed chefs who'll inspire and guide our chef brigades and management teams. 

"Nigel's approach in his kitchen absolutely reflects the activity that takes place daily across our sites. Our focus on fresh, locally sourced food that revels in seasonality and provides customers with the best possible dining experience and that is true to the community it serves. This is exactly what is found in Northcote and is what you will undoubtedly find again in John Campbell's new kitchens at Coworth Park."

Haworth added: "Our chef training programme and apprentice scheme at Northcote has had great success in driving the numbers of skilled chefs available to our industry over recent years. Working with a food service operator such as Baxter Storey whose approach has a great synergy with our beliefs, gives me the opportunity to drive the quality and skills to a larger workforce of chefs."
