Watkins said: “I am excited to start my role with Platebox to support education catering companies up and down the country by ensuring their lunches are delivered in the best condition so the children can enjoy healthy nutritious lunches to help them learn. After working in the education sector for so many years, this ethos has always been close to my heart and has cemented my views on the importance we should all place on good food. To now be in a strategic position to ensure this happens nationally is an exciting journey I’m looking forward to begin through Platebox.”
