Konica Minolta Channel Partner Marketing Manager, Marie Woodhead and Executive Coordinator, Caroline Marson, helped to raise £6,150 for Candlelighters by competing in a Ready Steady Cook competition organised by the charity at Leeds City College. The money raised will be used by the Yorkshire charity to support families dealing with children’s cancer.
The college opened its training kitchens at the Printworks Campus in the city’s Southbank area for the culinary challenge. In total, 12 teams took part to cook a main course and dessert, given to them on the day, using only surplus ingredients donated by The Company Shop Group, which was under the watchful eye of the college’s Catering and Hospitality tutors and former Great British Bake Off semi-finalist, Briony May Williams, as head judge.
Woodhead said: “The day was fantastic and one that raised a lot of money to support the amazing work Candlelighters does for our local community. It was also a great experience to compete alongside our partners Intuitive Business Intelligence Business who we work so closely with as a business.”
Candlelighters is one of three charities Konica Minolta employees have chosen
to support as part of the company’s ESG framework.
