No more ministers at Artizian

Bizarre job titles are made more traditional at Berkshire based contract caterer Artizian after it lost faith in the title 'minister'.

The firm said the "negative slant and connotation" now associated with the title 'minister' prompted the change.

"Whereas in the past it was regarded as an esteemed position and one to look up to, due to our government this appears no longer to be the case," it added.

New job titles, taking into account the "need for greater clarity on the roles", have been announced.

• Pauline Vallance, previously minister of calm, is now senior manager - HR & team player insight
• Martin Dibben, previously minister of excellence, is now senior manager - food & procurement insight
• Kenny Tranquille, previously nutritional therapist, is now simply a nutritionist
• Judith Owen previously consultant minister of fun & development, is now training partner

This Kitchen Rat can't help thinking that Judith must have been disappointed by the change.

Who wouldn't want to be the minister of fun?
