Andy Jones has supported patient catering in the United Kingdom for more than 30 years. His passions are the delivery of a nutritious and wholesome food and hydration service to all patients at ward level. As a trained chef, Andy believes that whichever method of food preparation a hospital utilizes—whether fresh cooked on the premises or cook chill/cook freeze—it is vital that the highest standards are in place. This ensures food reaches the patient in optimum condition and so contributes to their well-being and recovery. Andy's mantra is to “treat every patient as a member of your own family.”
His passion for patient well-being is well documented. He was named the Caterer and Hotelkeeper Association’s Public Sector Caterer of the Year in 2012, chaired the Hospital Caterers Association from 2013–15 and has been key in the United Kingdom’s Nutritional and Hydration Weeks.
