Joining our initiative will establish you as a benefactor of the Academy. Your association and support of a recognised industry accreditation is an opportunity to secure and shape its future.
To date, Patrons have provided essential capital and as the Academy continues to grow, we require ongoing investment to implement all four Levels of accreditation – setting a gold standard. As a valued stakeholder, you can be a key part of this process.
We’re asking cheese makers, retailers, cheesemongers, distributors, producers, deli owners, chefs, foodservice operators and everyone with a passion for the sector to help us reach our funding objectives.
