Steven Worth, 24, of Chester, operates The Westminster Suite kitchens preparing wedding breakfasts, working lunches for executives using the boardroom and creating fine dining experiences for hotel regulars.

Investors in People represents the prestigious national benchmark of good practice, setting the standard for organisations to improve their business performance, and the Gold Award is the highest achievement that can be awarded as part of the scheme. Jo Lord, Director at Learning to Inspire adds: “We are thrilled to receive the Gold award. To secure Investors in People recognition is an achievement in itself, but to then have secured the highest possible level attainable makes us very proud indeed. As we specialise in learning and personal development, the accreditation is particularly pertinent.” Established in 2000, Learning to Inspire, based in Dodleston, Chester provides a wide range of open and in-house leadership and personal development courses for businesses across Wales and the NW of England.

As ‘Employee of the Year’, Steven has won a three night break, for two people, from the Small Luxury Hotels of the World collection, inclusive of return travel, breakfast and dinner each day. Steven said: “I was so pleased just to be nominated for, never mind win, ‘Employee of the Year’. I can’t believe it because I’m just doing my job. I’m probably going to take a golfing holiday as my prize and take one of my friends along. I’m really looking forward to it.”
