The top 24 entrants have been invited to attend the Regional Final taking place on Monday, November 30th at the Langham Hotel.
The Regional Finalists will be required to complete a series of service tasks and will be judged by a panel of leading industry professionals.
Edward Griffiths, chairman of the Judges panel, said: “Once again, the quality of the candidates has improved, and the task of selection has been all the more challenging.
“We have therefore increased the number of Regional Finalists from 20 to 24, to enable as many of the talented entrants to participate in the next stage.”
