Last week, BCC Recruitment Ltd – FIRE Group, had the pleasure of attending the Association of Catering Excellence Charity Dinner 2026, hosted at the iconic Imperial War Museum London. What an incredible venue and an unforgettable evening bringing together so many people from across the hospitality and catering sector.


The event supported Only A Pavement Away, a charity doing remarkable work to help people rebuild their lives through employment opportunities within hospitality. By connecting individuals facing homelessness, prison leavers, and veterans with employers in the industry, the organisation continues to change lives while strengthening our sector.


Rodney Burt, Director of FIRE Group said, "The evening was a fantastic reminder of how generous and passionate the hospitality community is. Events like this demonstrate the power of the industry when people come together not just to celebrate great food and company, but to support meaningful causes that make a real difference."


Jamie Mullett, Ops Director - London, said, "At BCC Recruitment Ltd – FIRE Group, we are proud to support organisations that champion opportunity, inclusivity, and positive change within hospitality. Being part of the Association of Catering Excellence community allows us to stay connected with inspiring professionals who share the same values and commitment to the future of the industry."


A huge thank you to everyone involved in organising such a memorable evening. We are already looking forward to the next event.
