David Bourne, World Team Catering Vice-Champion preside over this 2026 edition !

David Bourne was born into a family of charcuterie butchers and has carried on the legacy his parents started in 1980 in Vals-les-Bains which they went on to develop in Romans-sur-Isère in 1995. Guided by his love of the trade, his taste for authenticity and his respect for local produce, David joined the family business in 2000. 

He has breathed new life into the business by developing a high-end catering service that combines strict standards, creativity and traditional expertise. Constantly striving for excellence, he has taken part in many competitions and was awarded the Qualichef certificate for his commitment to craft food in 2013. In the charcuterie industry, David has mastered the great classics while developing a new, more contemporary range of cured meats.

His specialities regularly win awards in national competitions, including the Trophée Nationale de la Charcuterie and the Championnat de France du Fromage de Tête. Awarded the title of French Catering Champion in 2020, he became captain of the French team at the World Catering Championship in 2021, where he won the title of World Vice-Champion.
