Sophie Skinner, an Advanced Culinary Diploma student at Stratford-upon-Avon College won a prestigious award sponsored by Aramark earlier this term.

Lecturers at the College nominated Sophie for the prize earlier this year based on her attendance and progression. She won an all expenses paid trip to Philadelphia which she took at the end of the summer. During her trip she visited The Wharton School at the University of Philadelphia, the Aramark Innovation Center and The University of Delaware. The prize is awarded by Aramark to a student every year at Stratford-upon-Avon College.

Following her trip, Sophie has moved to London to work at the Berkeley Hotel in the Pastry Department.

Our belief is to enhance their experience whilst at college making sure it’s a memorable one. Enhancing the experience and improving the social space within a college environment is key to us.
