Editor of Cost Sector Catering, David Foad, said: “These annual awards provide a valuable opportunity to celebrate the work of the tens of thousands of people working in the UK foodservice sector – particularly those at the sharp end with vital customer-facing roles.
“We gathered together a group of hard-working people who know the catering industry well to form this year’s judging panel and they have spent a lot of time assessing nominations.
“We finished that work yesterday and the shortlisting is complete in every category bar one. We had 146 nominations this year, very slightly down on last year, but still one of the best ever responses since the awards were launched 22 years ago.”
Following on from last year, and in recognition of the changing face of Cost Sector Catering, we have two Lifetime Achievement Awards - the Public Sector Lifetime Achievement Award and the Contract Catering Lifetime Achievement Award. There are no nominations, so no shortlist, and the winners will be announced on the night.
