Springboard announces Awards for Excellence shortlist

Springboard UK has announced the shortlist for its Awards for Excellence, which will reward outstanding achievements in hospitality at a virtual ceremony on 18 March.

 

More than 40 business have made the shortlist in 17 categories recognising everything from employee health and wellbeing and staff communication to the best dine at home experience and most innovative alcohol strategy.

 

The awards also include new categories to showcase businesses and employees who have demonstrated the ability to quickly adapt and implement new, successful initiatives to support their employees, communities and NHS during the pandemic.

 

Springboard Charity chief executive Chris Gamm said: “We’ve received a record number of entries despite the pandemic, demonstrating that our hospitality industry has gone above and beyond in 2020 to support their communities and employees, adapt their business models and succeed despite the odds.

 

“We’ve got a fitting ceremony planned to celebrate the shortlist and reveal the winners. As well as announcing who takes the top spot in each category, we’ll have a number of celebrity guest appearances throughout the night including Andi Oliver, Michel Roux Jr and Clare Smyth.”

 

The awards will be hosted by British comedian and television presenter Paul Sinha, best known as one of the six chasers on the ITV game show The Chase. Sponsored by Harri, the event will take place 6:30-7:30pm on 18 March and will be free to attend and open to all, with guests able to sign in from 6pm to network online.
