10th Contract Catering Awards to be held tomorrow!

The 10th Contract Catering Awards will finally be held in London tomorrow. Last held in November 2019 (as the FSM Awards), this event continues to recognise the outstanding individuals who make a huge contribution to contract catering.

The two most represented companies are Elior and Compass, who have nine nominations each, including in the Contract Caterer and Senior Executive of the Year categories. Fittingly, new for this year is the Healthcare Award, which will see Compass subsidiary Medirest going up against two Sodexo employees.

Contract Catering magazine editor Henry Norman said: “Hospitality has been instrumental in getting the country through Covid and we can’t wait to laud those who have done their utmost to help keep things moving in the right direction. Most of all, though, we are looking forward to getting old friends and colleagues together again to celebrate this amazing sector of ours.”

The 10th outing for this event has, as always, been judged by a top team of industry peers and professionals. The winners will be announced at a glittering gala dinner, which will be held at the Leonardo Royal Hotel at London Tower Bridge on 29th March 2022.
