The awards recognise those who have made an outstanding contribution to the care catering sector and are spread across six categories.

The winners will be revealed at a gala awards dinner on 3 October at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham.

The NACC Region of the Year Award, the Pam Rhodes Award and the National Chair’s Award will be unveiled on the night.

Neel Radia, national chair of the NACC, said: “This year the NACC received a record number of nominations for our annual awards, which made judging this year’s competition much harder. 

“Making the shortlist of these prestigious awards doesn’t mean that you have just done something special, it means that you have been making a difference over a significant period and your actions have caught the eye of the judges, therefore many congratulations to all this year’s shortlisted finalists.”
