WA Food Ambassador- Chef Don Hancey
As the WA Food Ambassador, Don consults to some of Western Australia’s most iconic food companies assisting them with marketing, product development, placement and generally being “The Storyteller” between WA food producers, chefs and the general public. Passion is the best word to use when describing Don. After a long and successful career running three of WA’s finest regional kitchens, Don has become WA’s Food Ambassador through his continual support and dedication to WA food producers. Don was awarded Western Australia’s Good Food Guide Governors’ Award for Charity and Philanthropy in 2013 by then Governor Malcolm McCusker.
Don’s 40-year plus food career has endowed him with vast experience, especially by being an owner operator since the age of 23. His company, Don Hancey Consulting, is involved in major food festivals and events across Perth, including many of WA’s regional areas where they bring skills, knowledge and passion to commercial and community events. Don currently operates three commercial kitchens in Perth hired out to chefs, caterers, small food producers, RTO’s, and the general public. These brand-new kitchens are ideal for food business start-ups and can operate as cloud kitchens at night.
