De Vere, a collection of historic mansion house estates and distinctive contemporary hotels, is celebrating after one of its chefs took first place in the European heat of the acclaimed IACC Copper Skillet Challenge in Sweden.

Ben Parris, Executive Head Chef at De Vere Horsley Estate, located in Surrey, was one of four chefs in the senior category, each competing under pressure to impress a panel of esteemed judges. Ben will now head to New York to represent the UK and Europe in the global finals in April 2026.

The IACC Copper Skillet is one of the most respected culinary competitions in the hospitality and conference sector, showcasing the creativity, skill and versatility of chefs working in leading conference venues worldwide.

The challenge required each chef to design and cook two portions of a main course dish in only 30 minutes, using a pantry of staples and a selection of mystery ingredients, with the rule that at least two of the five surprise proteins had to be incorporated. Dishes were assessed on originality, technique, presentation, flavour balance, hygiene standards and minimal food waste.

In the final, Ben chose halibut fillet and local Högbo Bruk cheese. He created a dish of braised fennel with tarragon and the local cheese, pan-fried Halibut fillet, a salad of local vegetables and a classic sauce vierge dressing and fresh herbs.

Ben Parris said: “The European heat was highly competitive, with some incredibly talented chefs taking part and I’m honoured to have made it to the final stage. The competition is a real test of the skills required in conference and events catering, and I’m thrilled to be representing the UK and Europe in the final stages of the competition next year.”

Michael Micallef, General Manager at De Vere Horsley Estate said: “We are all incredibly proud of Ben for his outstanding achievement throughout this competition. His exceptional skill and composure in a highly pressured environment have really set him apart.

Kate Shaw, our Director of Sales, and I, were delighted to support him in person at the superb IACC Europe Knowledge Festival at Högbo Brukshotell & Spa. Our focus now turns to the global round next year, and we will be cheering him on every step of the way.”

The Global Showdown will take place at the Windrose on Hudson in New York, where Ben will compete against champions from the Americas and Asia-Pacific.

De Vere Horsley Estate is an exceptional venue for meetings and events. At Horsley Place, The Hub features seven versatile meeting rooms for 6 to 100 guests, which can be booked individually or exclusively, with a courtyard ideal for outdoor lunches, barbecues, and team building.

“REEL WOMEN” celebrated the voices of women in film at the prestigious The Venice Film Festival.

The Venice Film Festival is one of the world’s oldest and most prestigious demonstrations of international cinema. Taking place on September 1, 2025 in Venice, Italy, this festival has been a birth place to some of the most celebrated works in film, and is to this day still one of the European “Big Three” festivals (alongside Cannes and Berlin).

The festival draws in the film community from all over the world to its red carpets and screenings each year, platforming emerging filmmakers and talent while also highlighting already established talent in the entertainment industry. It features major world premieres, red carpets with stars, and the esteemed Golden Lion award for the best film. It was held from Wednesday, August 27 to Saturday, September 26 in 2025.

This year, Maria Soccor hosted at the 82nd Venice Film Festival to put a spotlight on the amazing women working in the film industry. Maria Soccor is an award-winning actress, producer, director and filmmaker whose work has spanned documentary, narrative, and producing projects with a focus on underrepresented voices. Soccor frequents these international film festivals as a moderator, mentor, and champion of emerging filmmakers. She has been a long-time advocate of inclusivity and gender equality within art spaces, and consistently uses her platform to speak up for and amplify overlooked voices and perspectives. Soccor hosted REEL WOMEN in order to create a space for dialogue, connection and recognition at one of the most influential cultural gatherings for film in the world.

This exclusive, late-night gathering took place at 10:00 PM in the Campari Lounge, which is a stunning bar area and event space in front of Palazzo del Cinema and on the sea, directly across from the iconic red carpet. It was presented by Campari in partnership with Maria Soccor Productions Inc. and Jane Owen Public Relations, an award-winning PR and events firm with over two decades of experience supporting top talents and brands at major international film festivals. Campari is an iconic red bitter aperitif that is the flagship product of Campari group, which is an Italian company that produces spirits, wines, and non-alcoholic beverages. The evening featured gourmet appetisers and artisanal cocktails (courtesy of Campari) accompanied by elevated canapés and Italian hospitality, and a bar service delivered by Camparino in Galleria: one of the world’s best bars. A DJ and entertainment also brought the energy to this all-night event.

The event united filmmakers, actors, producers, and industry leaders in celebration of female voices and stories in cinema and entertainment. REEL WOMEN offered insightful networking and an elegant tribute spotlighting REEL WOMEN honorees. There were several notable film-industry names who attended this event.

Actor Jared Harris and his wife, Allegra Riggio attended. Harris had his film A House of Dynamite premiere at The Venice Film Festival last week, which generated significant buzz for the political thriller. Film producer Debra Gainor attended the event as well with Producers without Borders. Producer Vicktoria Silmara Turmina of Mindgate Motion Pictures and the founder of The Members Club and Producers Without Borders, Jojo Dye, showed up. The founder of one of the world’s premiere independent film publicity agencies, Jane Owen, made an appearance as well as Ann Hafström of the Creative Lifestyle Agency. Actresses Agatha Levi and Tora Kims, and models Gillian Nation and Tia Goossen attended as well.

“Venice has long been a platform for extraordinary storytelling, and REEL WOMEN was a chance to gather in recognition of the incredible female talent shaping the industry today,” said Maria Soccor.

Soccor’s event underscored the urgency and importance of continuing to champion and uplift diverse storytellers from all backgrounds in front of and behind the camera. This private, invite only event reinforced the commitment of Campari and its partners to supporting creativity, inclusivity, and the next generation of storytellers.

REEL WOMEN remained vibrant into the night, and was constantly buzzing with conversation, collaboration, and the unmistakable energy of the last night of The Venice Film Festival. This event was a great space for women in film to network and to lift up voices in the film industry that aren’t heard or seen as much as others.
