Our aim is to encourage catering educational institutions to work together to manage the challenges of continual change within hospitality and catering education and training.
We understand the value of strong and mutually-beneficial partnerships with those sharing the goal of positively shaping hospitality and catering educations to the advantage of everyone.
Representing colleges, universities and schools, our members account for a significant amount of expenditure and purchases across food, beverages, catering equipment, training materials and service agreements.
Nationally, PACE is driven by our Executive Committee.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row height_ratio="70" padding_top_multiplier="3x" padding_bottom_multiplier="2x" rc_bg_type="color" rc_bg_color="#382bb3" rc_font_color="#ffffff"][vc_column width="1/4" tablet_text_align="center" tablet_sm_text_align="center" mobile_text_align="center"][zuperla_title heading_tag="h5" heading="h5" line_type="line" line_width="110" line_color="white" inherit_align="right" animation_delay="0" el_class="white"]Regional and National levels[/zuperla_title][/vc_column][vc_column width="3/4" content_width="80"][vc_column_text text_style="leader-text" animation="eut-fade-in-right" animation_delay="000"]We operate at a National Level with 172 colleges, with links to all universities offering hospitality and catering education, and in many regions, a range of local schools.

PACE has been representing those involved in education and training within the hospitality and catering industry for nearly two decades. The organisation was formed out of the National Heads of Catering (NATHOC) group to give all education establishments offering catering and hospitality training national representation. It soon became an active voice speaking on behalf of the education and training sector on a range of industry and education panels.
As the network developed, the 9 PACE regions were established to allow for the discussion of local issues. Our network of members currently includes 172 colleges, with links to numerous universities offering hospitality and catering, and in many regions a range of local schools. This equates to the representation of more than 1000* hospitality and catering lecturers and 25,000* students – many of which already work in the industry in roles such as chef and hospitality manager.
