Public Sector Catering Awards celebrate teams behind service
Abstract
Entries are now open for this year’s Public Sector Catering Awards, offering organisations across the UK an opportunity to recognise the people and teams who deliver vital catering services every day.

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.

Managers and leaders often report that the simple act of nomination creates a 'buzz' across kitchens and workplaces, sparking positive conversations and a renewed sense of purpose. Start your nomination here.
