Rob Rees, The Cotswold Chef
'Food in education' Workshop Facilitator
Rob Rees became involved in diet and public health projects through his work as a food consultant, chef and former restaurateur and is now one of the UK’s leading campaigners for a better food culture in Britain. He works with central government, regional development agencies, local authorities, schools, communities and the food industry as a powerful inspiration to the benefits of good food and associated food policies. He balances social aspects of his work with his private interests of consultant, cookery demonstrator, food columnist, writer and chef. He is a real charmer and an inspiration to all who listen from child to adult.
Rob has actively campaigned around issues on education, health, nutrition, food safety and consumer issues for many years and is often featured in local, regional and national media. Whilst on the Board of the Food Standards Agency he championed the needs of young people in consumer issues around food, and then became involved in setting up the School Food Trust where he is still a Board Member. As an ambassador for Visit Britain and Board Member of Visit England, he manages the marketing strategy for an £85billion industry, as well as promoting British food and culture through talks, demonstrations and cookery sessions. This has taken him on projects around the globe, including India, Singapore, Japan, Australia, Europe and the USA, celebrating the assets of the Cotswolds, South West and UK. In recognition of his work in this area, Rob won the “Image of Britain” award in 2006 (Food from Britain award, sponsored by Visit Britain).
Rob is also General Governor for the British Nutrition Foundation, Member of the FSA’s Advisory Committee on the Microbiological Safety of Food, Policy Director for Gloucestershire Food Vision, Chairman of Kraft’s Health4Schools project and a Non Executive Director of the Gloucestershire Primary Care Trust. Rob is also CEO of The Wiggly Worm Ltd (a food education and health development charity) and Director of The Cotswold Chef™. Rob has particular skills in facilitating organisational change, focussing on changes in attitudes and behaviours, policy development and delivery, and customer engagement. His work ranges from local level to the international stage with a wealth of experience, skills and positive results.
In January 2006, Rob was awarded an MBE for services to the “Food Industry”.
