Cost Sector Catering Awards shortlist announced

14 Mar 2012

Judges have whittled down the record number of nominees to the final three in each category of the Cost Sector Catering Awards.

Each of the three - whether individual, team or company - will now go forward to the awards night on April 12th at the Hilton London Metropole.

There are 16 awards, 14 of which are open to nominations. The final two new awards replace the Blue Ribband Award - they are Special Awards, one for the Public Sector Special Award and the other the Contract Catering Special Award.

These awards are in the gift of the judges who now have the opportunity to acknowledge their very different contributions to the industry. The two new awards will be given to the individuals or organisations who have demonstrated outstanding leadership qualities, drive, ideas and influence to make them deserving of this highest accolade.

The full line up of award finallists is:
