Crewe's Cheshire College – South & West's Academy team is celebrating after receiving a highly commended Top Team Award at the Cheshire East Hospitality Association (CEHA) People Awards.

The relaunch of the CEHA People Awards signals an exciting new era for Cheshire's booming visitor economy, celebrating rising stars, established professionals, and the partnerships that drive excellence in hospitality.

At the same Crewe Hall Hotel & Spa event, 50 students from the College's Academy Restaurant played a leading role, planning, preparing, cooking, and serving over 170 guests, including hospitality leaders, regional employers, and industry innovators.

Level 3 Student and Front of House Supervisor, Leah, said: "Managing a team of over 20 at such a high-profile event really boosted my leadership and organisation skills and gave me a real insight into running a large-scale hospitality event from start to finish."

The CEHA People Awards provide a platform to recognise excellence across Cheshire's hospitality sector, bringing together businesses, educators, and emerging talent shaping the region's vibrant hospitality scene.

Deputy Principal and Deputy CEO of Cheshire College, Helen Nellist, told Nub News: "We are incredibly proud of our Hospitality and Catering team for receiving the recognition, but equally proud of our students who took the lead on the night.

"Their hard work, professionalism, and confidence in delivering a high-profile event truly made the College shine and demonstrated what can be achieved when students and staff work together."
