The founder of Tossed, the fast casual healthy eating group, has been named among the top 30 hospitality figures by Caterer and Hotelkeeper.

Vincent Mckevitt, 29, received the accolade at the catering trade publication’s annual Acorn Awards.

Started in 1986 to recognise the 30 hospitality figures under the age of 30 that represent tomorrow’s leading lights, the Acorn Awards have spotted the likes of Marco Pierre White, Gary Rhodes and Marcus Wearing, all of whom rose to celebrity chef fame.
