Cateys 2015 shortlist revealed

The Caterer has unveiled the shortlist for the 32nd annual Catey Awards.

Generally known as the hospitality industry's answer to the Oscars, the Cateys recognise the sector's highest flyers, strongest performers and latest emerging brands, as determined by those best placed to decide - the industry itself.

More than 140 judges, chosen on account of their expertise and industry knowledge, and past success as Catey winners themselves, met at London's Dorchester hotel last week for three days of lively debate to whittle down the nominees and produce our shortlist.

The winners will remain a closely guarded secret until they are announced at a glittering event on 7 July at London's Grosvenor House, A JW Marriott hotel.

To buy tickets for the event, email martha.allardyce@thecaterer.com, or to explore sponsorship opportunities contact rob.adam@thecaterer.com.
