HOW A SCOTTISH CHEF IS INSPIRING A NEW OUTLOOK
Dominic MacInnes 1990 - 2024
On the 9th of July 2024 Dominic MacInnes passed away having taken his own life. An incredibly successful chef with Michelin experience, and great friend to many, Dom struggled with mental fitness, a challenge many people in UK Hospitality face on a daily basis.
Industry Reaction
Dom left behind a young wife and two infant boys, two boys that will grow up without the love and care of their father.
For many, Doms’ passing was a shock, but it has also served as an opportunity to heighten awareness around rising mental health pressures within the hospitality industry, whilst seeking to provide safer and increasingly supportive environments in which chefs can develop careers.
We Honour a Fallen Chef
Dom inspired those around him to continually hone their skills and constantly strive to be better.
The development of the Visionary Chef Scholarship is the perfect legacy to honour Dom’s work ethos, career ambition, and outlook on a very active and full life.
