With chocolate coursing through his veins for much of his professional career, 20 years ago Gary became a UK Chocolate Ambassador for Barry Callebaut – the exclusive and by-invitation-only Chocolate Ambassador Club gathers almost 200 of the best pastry chefs and chocolatiers from around the world, all of whom have a talent with, and a passion for, chocolate.

Gary has since become synonymous with chocolate throughout the hospitality industry and has represented the UK as a judge for the prestigious World Chocolate Masters competition, mentoring many of the UK finalists.
