We may have only just hosted our annual StrEATfood Awards – turn to page 28 for an exclusive interview with our latest champion, Michael Broad from Fooditude – but our ace events team certainly aren’t resting on their laurels. For anyone who hasn’t seen them already, we have also just announced the details for the 2025 Contract Catering Awards.
It's officially the 13th outing for this annual industry institution, but it somehow just keeps getting bigger and better. That may seem like an idle boast, however the stats certainly back it up. Not only have we moved to a larger venue, allowing more people than ever to attend – upwards of 500 – we have also increased the number of categories to 16.
And the latter is where you guys come in, as you can still nominate your too-modest-by-half friends and colleagues for free – but you’ll have to be quick. The closing deadline is 13th December, go to contractcateringawards.co.uk to get cracking.
All this talk of next year leads to me the sadly inescapable fact that we are now staring down the barrel of it almost being the impossibly futuristic sounding ‘2025’. It just leaves me to wish you all a very merry Christmas – turn to 14 to find out how your industry colleagues like to celebrate – and on behalf of all here at H2O Publishing. We look forward to seeing you all again in the new year!
