Shortlist revealed for National Association of Care Catering Awards 2023
The National Association of Care Catering (NACC) has announced the shortlist for the NACC Awards 2023.
The winners of the six categories will be revealed at a gala awards dinner on 5 October at the NACC Training & Development Forum at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham.
The awards recognise teams and individuals that have shown dedication and innovation within the care catering sector.
Sue Cawthray, national chair of the NACC, said: "Huge congratulations to all this year's shortlisted finalists. Care catering professionals are some of the best unsung heroes as they continue to work and care for older and vulnerable people in incredibly challenging circumstances – from staff shortages to the cost of living crisis and supply chain issues, they continue to shine and inspire. I wish all the finalists the very best of luck!"
