Paul A. Young

At the forefront of the British chocolate scene, he is highly respected amongst critics for his experimentation with flavour and design. Despite the wealth of creatives in London, Paul remains the only chocolatier to use artisan methods, a testament to his unique art and dedication to his craft. On the international stage, Paul is considered to be one of the best chocolatiers in the world, in incredibly impressive accolade considering the prestige of Belgium, Swiss and German chocolate.

Whether appearing at gastronomy exhibitions or private corporate events, his infectious passion for creating excites with audiences. Paul is also the award-winning author of Adventures with Chocolate, which won the World’s Best Chocolate Book at the Gourmand Cookbook Awards in Paris, a credit to Paul's defining influence. Like many celebrity chefs, he is no stranger to the screen, having appeared on This Morning, The Apprentice and Paul Hollywood's Pies and Puds, to share his creations.

Paul is considered to be an authority on chocolate. Audiences of his demonstrations are left with a better appreciation of the sweet treat, viewing it less like a passing snack and more like an art form to be respected. In 2014, Paul was titled the Outstanding British Chocolatier by the International Chocolate Awards - a booking like Paul is more than a chocolatier, he is a world-class chocolatier. Aside from bookable demonstrations, he also operates two shops in London and runs his own events, inviting fans to meet the man behind the chocolate. Since opening his first chocolate shop in 2006, he has gone on to become a leading figure in the industry.
