After leaving Wintec ( then Waikato Polytechnic) Chris Couborough gained a wealth of experience in both cuisine and
hotel management. Now chef patron of world class Crown Hotel and vice-chair of The Master Chefs of Great Britain, he was
instrumental in setting up the highly successful Adnams scholarships for young chefs from New Zealand to continue their
development and training in the United Kingdom.
This year’s Adnams scholarship winners, Wintec (Waikato Institute of Technology) graduates from the Certificate in
Professional Cookery, Te Aue Tahi, Laura Bowmer and Kimberley Snowden are preparing to take up their twelve month
