LUSSMANNS WINS
Lussmanns Sustainable Kitchen restaurant group in Hertfordshire has picked up a top national restaurant award, winning the UK best restaurant (group) award in the Marie Claire Sustainability Awards 2022.
This is a national award run
by the prestigious women’s magazine in recognition of “the brands, organisations, and products that are genuinely implementing change and building a better tomorrow”.
Andrei Lussmann, founder and director of Lussmanns Sustainable Kitchen, a restaurant group with 5 restaurants in Hertfordshire, said: “I am extremely honoured to win this national accolade, and to share it with my hard-working staff. “To be recognised as the UK’s winner in the sustainable restaurant group category means a lot to all of us, especially after the extremely challenging conditions of the past three years. “I would like to thank Marie Claire for putting sustainability and the environment at the top of their agenda and recognising that it is all businesses who should strive to be accountable, sustainable and planet-aware, and that this is not just a niche issue.”
Jenny Proudfoot, UK Features Editor at Marie Claire and Sustainability Awards Judge, said: “Lussmanns is clearly committed to its green mission, even rebranding as Lussmanns Sustainable Kitchen last year. From its ethical food provenance and green energy to sustainable waste management and commitment to giving back to the community, this is truly a brand with a purpose.” Companies were judged by a team from the magazine and their guest panel of more than 50 of the most highprofile sustainability experts, business founders, thought leaders and activists in the business. Andrei Lussmann, founder and MD of
Lussmanns Sustainable Restaurant Group,
opened his first fish and grill restaurant in Hertford in 2004. Its success then led on to the opening of three more restaurants in Hertfordshire: St Albans, Hitchin and Harpenden. Berkhamsted brings the number of Lussmanns in Hertfordshire to five.
