Dear members of the Panel of Chefs of Ireland, Worldchefs and colleagues - It is with great sadness that we convey the news that our dear friend and colleague Paddy passed away peacefully on Tuesday 2nd May, surrounded by his loving family.

Paddy was a lifelong member of the Panel of Chefs and played a pivotal role in the development and growth of the organisation. He held many senior positions including Branch Secretary, National Secretary, National President and more recently Vice President and Board member. Paddy devoted so much of his time and commitment to many projects, including the Chef Ireland Culinary Competitions, working with sponsors and other organisations to promote the work and profile of chefs throughout Ireland.

Chef Gordon Carberry from Swords in Co. Dublin took home bronze at the 2023 Sodexo UK and Ireland Chef of the Year competition. Gordon, who is head chef for Sodexo at VHI headquarters in Dublin, competed against eight other finalists from England, Scotland and Wales in front of a live audience at the prestigious HRC Show at ExCel London.
 
The theme of this year’s competition was ‘Celebrating Our Sustainable Future’ and the focus was on the creative use of sustainable ingredients that need to be incorporated more into daily food consumption to drive positive change in the use of natural resources. The chefs also had to create their dishes with the minimum of food wasted.
