The Hungry Games Championships 2024!

Date Posted 29/03/2024 Events

Last Thursday we attended The Hungry Games 2024 in Dublin where our World Class Teams competed against Applegreen ROI & Applegreen UK to win the championships!

Congratulations to Applegreen ROI who took home the trophy for a second year! We had a fantastic day celebrating the talents we have within Welcome Break.

We had a few competitions running through the day – Latte Art Challenge, Burger King Whopper Challenge, Subway Subjammers Challenge, Chopstix Wok Challenge & Greggs Sandwich Challenge!

Our finalists competed against finalists in Applegreen ROI and Applegreen UK to find the best of the best.

Here are our fantastic Welcome Break winners!

  • Laura Rigsby – Burger King Whopper Challenge – 1st Place
  • Minhaj Minhaj – Burger King Whopper Challenge – 2nd Place

  • Mara Asene – Greggs Sandwich Challenge – 3rd Place
  • Tania Calado – Subway Subjammers Challenge – 3rd Place
  • Sarala Thebe – Chopstix Wok Challenge – 3rd Place

 

And a huge shoutout to our other amazing competitors:

  • Kayleigh Bray
  • Courtney-Jade Newitt
  • Elmano Maria
  • Gemma Barefoot
  • Katalin Biro-Gombos

Thank you to those who supported the team in Dublin and on their journeys through our Welcome Break locations at site, regional and company finals.

The Hungry Games is the only cross division event we do and brings colleagues from different job roles from the UK and Ireland together as well as driving the standards in the brand units. It has grown so much in 2 years and will continue!

The question is, who will be a part of The Hungry Games 2025? Which other brands can we get involved?

Wait and see, but next year, we will be back…bigger…and BETTER!
