CEDA's lead on technical support, Peter Kay, said: "Underlining the vital importance of our members' and suppliers' commitment to excellence in technical support and service, technical innovation and personal development relating to technical work is very important to CEDA.
“Our new technical awards will show all those involved in CEDA and the wider hospitality and foodservice sector that we, our members, and suppliers are committed to outstanding technical service and support.
"We are looking for examples across several categories for individuals and projects that shine when it comes to technical capability and entry forms with nominations need to reach the CEDA office by Wednesday 27th July."
The four awards: The Groundbreaker Award, Industry Technical Rising Star Award, Apprentice of the Year Award and Supplier Award will be presented at the dinner following the Catering Equipment Technical Conference at the Nottingham Belfry Hotel on October 12th.
