Mr Scammell said: "I have personally been working in catering for nearly 40 years, from restaurants and takeaways to providing 5,000 meals a day at the New Zealand Open.

"Last year I sold my main business to go into semi-retirement and I am now working on several projects that I hope will bring opportunities to budding entrepreneurs."

He started working with Mr Rahman - known as 'Mash' - on one of these projects.
