Tasty Careers Challenge
Castell Howell Foods helped start the Tasty Careers Challenge in West Wales.
This challenge involved 14 schools and more than 900 students. It tasked learners to make healthy meals using local products.
The goal of the competition was to highlight opportunities in the food industry. It also helped learners develop important skills.
Castell Howell Foods teamed up with local businesses. Together, they provided prizes and sponsored the final of the Tasty Careers Challenge.
After the competition, the company worked together with Maes Y Gwendraeth school. They developed the winning product and added it to their product offer.
