From schools and hospitals to care settings, the armed forces and local authorities, public sector catering plays a crucial role in supporting health, wellbeing and community life.
The dedication, skill and resilience of those working behind the scenes often goes unnoticed. The Public Sector Catering Awards aim to change that by shining a light on the teams and individuals making a real difference.
Recognition through awards can help boost pride, confidence and engagement within teams, particularly at a time when public sector catering continues to face significant pressures.
