Congratulations to Tom Batten, Birthcare’s Head Chef, for taking out first prize in the Nestle’ Professional and Cater Plus staff bake-off competition.
Tom and his team consistently demonstrate dedication, creativity, and pride in their work. Their efforts are clearly reflected in the outstanding feedback received from Birthcare patients and whanau, who have the privilege of enjoying Tom’s beautifully prepared and truly delectable meals.
All meals are approved by a Cater Plus nutritionist, ensuring they meet appropriate nutritional standards while maintaining quality and taste.
This recognition is a well deserved acknowledgement of the passion and excellence Tom brings to the Birthcare kitchen every day. Well done Tom!
