"The Cost Sector Catering Awards provide the highlight of the foodservice and catering calendar," according to Cost Sector Catering editor David Foad.
"There’s simply no other event that offers the people who work in our industry the chance to be judged by their peers and come through to win industry-wide recognition as the best.
"Our prestigious annual awards ceremony offers a fantastic way to celebrate that success and to win one of the coveted award categories is a stand-out achievement in anyone’s working life, something that fully recognises an outstanding contribution to this wonderful industry of ours. It is the highest acknowledgement of merit that can be bestowed from within the foodservice industry."
NEW FOR 2014
To recognise the changing face of cost sector catering, there have been some changes to the awards criteria and three new awards have been added:
Cost Sector Team of the Year – with teamwork an essential part of any organisation, this new award seeks to recognise how getting a group of individuals working to collective aims and objectives can achieve amazing results. The category is open to all teams working in contract catering or self delivered operations in the private and public sector
Innovation Award – to recognise a product or service that has dramatically changed an operator’s or their clients’ catering strategy
PS100 Health & Nutrition Award – a panel of judges will be looking to recognise best practice in the delivery of a clear health and nutrition strategy within a public sector environment.
