April Partridge

Springboard Programme: FutureChef

Year: 2009

In FutureChef 2009 and 2010 we saw April Partridge compete. April went on to complete an apprenticeship with The IVY in London, before being employed there full time for 3 years.

April has a real talent and has won many awards including The Hot Talent Award at Hotelympia 2012, Young Person of the Year award for The Craft Guild of Chefs in 2013 and she was named Best Young Chef in the Observer Food Monthly Awards in 2014.  April competed in The Craft Guild of Chefs Young National Chef of the Year three times and in 2020 came 3rd and the highest ever ranking female chef in The Craft Guild of Chefs National Chef of the Year in 2020

“Being part of FutureChef has been fantastic, I have met some incredible people and continue to love being a Chef.”
