The 2013 CEO Cook Off hosted by Qantas and OzHarvest was a great success! WPC Group CEO Nicholas Wyman teamed up with Celebrity Chefs including Matt Moran, Maggie Beer, Poh Ling Yeow, Adam Liaw, Neil Perry and Pete Evans at the Cathedral Square in Sydney.
The purpose of the event was to raise awareness and much needed funds to assist Australians facing challenges in the areas of food security, homelessness and youth in crisis. The event raised a total of One Million Dollars while the CEOs and Celebrity Chefs put their sustainable culinary skills to work to cook up a storm to feed 1000 people in need.
