Bunzl Catering & Hospitality Division are delighted to announce that we will once again be partnering with The Caterer to headline sponsor The Cateys 2018, an event that is considered the Oscars of the hospitality industry.
Now in its 35th year, The Cateys have become firmly established as a celebration of all that’s great in UK hospitality. This year the glamorous awards show will be taking place at Grosvenor House in London, on the 3 July 2018 and will showcase innovative brands and trail-blazing people from across hotels, restaurants, foodservice and pubs & bars.
As well as headline sponsorship, Bunzl Catering & Hospitality Division will also be sponsoring two individual award categories: Hotel of the Year – Group and Restaurateur of the Year – Group.
Last month more than 100 judges, chosen for their expertise and industry knowledge, met at London’s Dorchester hotel for three days of intense debate to discuss the nominees, produce a shortlist and select the winners.
Included on the judging panel was our very own Austen Bushrod, Head of Business Development, Bunzl Catering Supplies. Austen commented: “I’m delighted to have represented Bunzl Catering & Hospitality Division as a judge for The Cateys 2018. Working alongside some of the best from the industry, we had a tough but rewarding 2-day session deciding on the ultimate winners, who were chosen from such an exceptional group of entries.”
Bunzl Catering & Hospitality Division managing director Matt Johnson said: “Bunzl Catering & Hospitality Division are delighted to once again be headline sponsor of The Cateys 2018. As well as being the headline sponsor we will also be sponsoring two individual award categories: Hotel of the Year – Group and Restaurateur of the Year – Group. The Cateys are the biggest awards of their kind in the hospitality industry and they recognise individuals and businesses who are the highest flyers.”
Chris Gamm, Editor of The Caterer added: “I’m delighted to again be working with Bunzl Catering & Hospitality Division as headline sponsor of The Cateys 2018. As two brands that work with, support and help grow some of the industry’s biggest and most successful operators, Bunzl Catering & Hospitality Division and The Caterer are a brilliant fit to host the most recognised and respected awards in the UK hospitality industry.”
