Organised by a dedicated committee of industry professionals the Lewisham Foundation is named in honour of the colourful Auckland hospitality entrepreneur Richard Lewisham who helped establish the modern day eating and drinking scene in the 'City of Sails'.
Every year the Lewisham Foundation initiates an awards and a mentoring programme, the objective of which is to promote and lift the standard of the Auckland hospitality industry.
The key to our success is due in part to our dedicated committee members, the support of our sponsors and critically the participation of industry management, peers and colleagues.
The Lewisham Foundation is proudly administered by the Auckland branch of The Restaurant Association of New Zealand.
