Chain aims to produce Red Hot chefs

The scheme, run in association with the National Apprentice Service (NAS), aims to recruit young people who have missed out on employment, training or further education from Manchester, Nottingham, Leicester, Northampton, Milton Keynes, Liverpool, Leeds and Cardiff.

The apprentices will learn alongside a team of chefs.

Helen Dhaliwal, the company’s director, said: “Our apprentices will not only have the opportunity to learn essential skills in food preparation, presentation and service, they will be helped to develop a work ethic that will allow them to flourish in the hospitality industry.

“We feel the Red Hot World Buffet & Bar’s apprenticeship scheme is an excellent way to give back to the local communities that are so integral to our success.

“The company is expanding by 300 per cent from six to 18 restaurants over the next three years.

“If this scheme is successful we intend to become the biggest provider of apprenticeships in the UK.”
