PEOPLE FIRST AWARDS 2025. Let’s celebrate outstanding achievements and exciting futures.

DATE: Tuesday 14th October 2025
VENUE: At The Halston, Carlisle
 
Inter Fresh were delighted to be part of and sponsor the “Rising Star Award” for the second consecutive year.  What a fabulous event, a very well attended afternoon celebrating a year of achievements for the winners of People First.
 
This year’s winner was a young man called Ethan who has worked in various placements throughout his time in the Hospitality Academy. Feedback on Ethan was how impressed the staff are by his resilience and good attitude in everything he does and has a bright future ahead. Chatting to Ethan on Tuesday was great, he loves the roles he takes on and always gives 100%.
 
As a local business who works closely with the team at the conference centre and the cancer unit Cafe at the Cumberland Infirmary, we think it's important that we celebrate together the talent that we share in our community. Every time we drop off deliveries we are met by members of the fabulous team and always service with a smile!
 
Sadly, Ethan was unwell on the day of the event so I was unable to meet him at the awards. But it was a pleasure to call in at the Conference Centre to have a chat with Ethan and present his award to him then. 
 
We look forward to working with and supporting People First and following the fantastic work they do.
