June 2024 mini newsletter

We are delighted to bring you the first of our 2024 events. It will be an hour-long webinar hosted by Keith Hurdman. As an illustrious Master Chocolatier, and the go-to AoC Board member for his decades of chocolate expertise, Keith is uniquely well placed to chair the event. He will be joined by a very distinguished panel of UK AoC award winners:

 

Duffy Sheardown of Duffy’s Chocolate in Grimsby. Since he became the AOC’s Best British Newcomer 2011, Duffy has gone from strength to strength producing award winning chocolates.

 

Joanna Brennan founded Suffolk’s prestigious Pump Street Chocolate with her father Chris Brennan in 2010. Provenance and process are key to the continuing success of the family business.

 

Multi talented Dutch born Remy Kuijken is passionate about bean to bar chocolate and became Liverpool’s first b2b chocolate maker when he founded Table Chocolate with his wife Andrea Porto at the end of 2021. Table soon won its first awards including a Brand Experience Trophy in 2022.

 

Over this hour-long session, we’ll find out what makes these chocolatiers tick. What inspired them to become a chocolate maker in the first place? How do they avoid the inevitable pitfalls along the way! How do they see fine chocolate in the UK developing?

 

With such a dream lineup of different personalities and winning approaches to producing tip top chocolate in the UK, the webinar is set to be as informative as it will be fun.
