Cateys 2020 shortlist revealed

The shortlist for the 2020 Catey Awards has been revealed ahead of a virtual ceremony in November.

Hundreds of the industry's finest operators met for virtual judging sessions during lockdown, and the shortlisted and winning businesses and individuals will be celebrated at a virtual event that will feature all the excitement associated with the biggest event in the hospitality calendar.

The winners, representing British hospitality at its best, will be revealed in a digital ceremony on Tuesday 24 November.

The Caterer editor James Stagg said: "The 2020 Cateys recognise the most talented individuals, the biggest brands and strongest performers in the hospitality industry.

"There will be some changes to the way we celebrate them this year since it is not possible to deliver the event at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House hotel in London, but The Caterer is determined that the industry continues to have the opportunity to applaud its finest and celebrate excellence.

"The Cateys 2020 is going virtual, and this year everyone is invited."
