UK caterers Aramark has entered into a partnership with Gordon Ramsay to provide a training course for Aramark chefs.

The Gordon Ramsay Experience is a series of two-day training courses taking place at Gordon Ramsay at Claridges which will be launched next month. Front of house training programmes are due to be developed in the spring to link in with the newly-launched Gordon Ramsay Restaurant Skills Centre in London.

Under the terms of the partnership, Aramark becomes a sponsor of the Gordon Ramsay Scholarship, while bespoke Ramsay menu promotions will run in selected Aramark restaurants and Gordon Ramsay will provide a consultancy service to the company from such areas as menu development for specific clients to high profile private dining activities.

'I've teamed up with Aramark because I believe they're passionate and enthusiastic in the same way as I am,' says Ramsay. Details: +44 (0)116 275 9413 or www.aramark.com
