With just three weeks to go until our sold-out Winter Chefs’ Dinner, we caught up with headline sponsor GGM Gastro to discover why they chose to partner with Hospitality Action and the meaningful difference their support is already making. 

What inspired you to support this year’s Winter Chefs’ Dinner?

At GGM Gastro, we have always believed that gastronomy is about more than equipment, it’s about people, creativity, and community. Supporting the Winter Chefs’ Dinner felt like a natural step for us.

This event brings together talented chefs, passionate professionals, and industry leaders in a way that celebrates not only culinary excellence but also the human side of hospitality – especially those who are in a special situation and in need of help. We were inspired by the chance to stand alongside those who dedicate their lives to creating memorable dining experiences and to give back to the community that makes our industry thrive.

For us, sponsoring the Winter Chefs’ Dinner is not just support, it’s a way of showing our respect and appreciation for the heart of hospitality.

What does Hospitality Action mean to you?

Hospitality Action represents the spirit of solidarity within our beloved and hardworking industry. It is an organisation that reminds us all that no matter how busy or successful we may become, there are always people in our field facing challenges that deserve support. From mental health and wellbeing to financial hardship and career setbacks, Hospitality Action provides lifelines that are often unseen but deeply transformative.

For GGM Gastro, it symbolises compassion, resilience, and a shared responsibility to look after one another. In an industry where long hours and high demands are the norm, Hospitality Action is a much-needed reminder that the wellbeing of our people is what truly sustains hospitality.

How does supporting Hospitality Action align with GGM Gastro’s values and goals?

At GGM Gastro, our mission is not only to supply world-class equipment but also to empower the people who make gastronomy extraordinary. Supporting Hospitality Action aligns perfectly with our values of responsibility, respect, and care for the wider community. We strive to build strong, long-lasting relationships with chefs, restaurateurs, and hospitality professionals, and part of that commitment means contributing to their wellbeing beyond the workplace.

Our long-term vision is to ensure that GGM Gastro products and values touch every restaurant worldwide and that vision must also include supporting the very people who bring those restaurants to life. By backing Hospitality Action, we are reaffirming that our growth is only meaningful if it uplifts and protects the people who drive this incredible industry forward.

Taking place at The Chancery Rosewood and hosted by chef and best-selling cookery author Sabrina Ghayour, this year's sold-out Winter Chefs' Dinner on Monday 27 October brings together some of the UK’s most respected chefs - Tom Kerridge, Daniel Clifford, Karan Gokani, Henry Harris, Sabrina Gidda, Thuy Diem Pham, Marius Dufay, and Cherish Finden - who will each create a course for one of two tasting menus served on the night.
