The virtual awards are open to any hospitality business that is proud of their 2020 achievements. This year there is an option for businesses or members of the public to nominate others for an award.
The Springboard Awards for Excellence has 16 different award categories, falling under the categories ‘staff support’, ‘business innovation’ and ‘community’. The awards are an opportunity for businesses to gain industry recognition whilst supporting the Springboard Charity.
Chris Gamm, chief executive of Springboard, said: “It’s been a hugely challenging year for hospitality, but we’ve seen some amazing innovation: from the way businesses operate, market themselves, and develop their teams, to the way they look after their people and unlock new opportunities.
“Springboard’s Awards for Excellence will be a little different this year to reflect the climate we find ourselves in. We will showcase the resilience of the industry, surviving a difficult year and still going above and beyond to support their staff, adapt their business and give back to the community.”
