Supplier Awards deadline extended until next Wednesday

The Caterer is giving the hospitality supply chain an extra week to put themselves forward for its inaugural Supplier Awards.

 

Potential entrants now have until the end of play on Wednesday, 18 December to nominate across categories for food, drink, equipment and technology brands.

 

Submit your entries here to be in with a chance to be rewarded for your latest sales and innovation strategies and shine a light on how you have progressed your relationships with operators and reacted to their needs with pioneering launches and support.

 

Nominees just need to answer a series of short questions, detailing:

 

Brand overview
Market leadership and insights
Creative marketing and support initiatives
Hospitality operator relationship progression
Evidenced growth

 

A total of 23 categories will be judged by an expert panel of hospitality operators, giving suppliers a chance to get their brands in front of some top industry names, as well as the wider recognition that will come from winning these accolades.

 

The winners of the Supplier Awards will be announced at a ceremony alongside a three-course lunch at One Moorgate Place, London, on 3 April 2025.

 

Clare Nicholls, products and suppliers reporter at The Caterer, said: “We recognise that the run-up to Christmas is one of the busiest times of the year for everyone involved in hospitality, so we are giving suppliers an extra week to finalise their nominations.

 

“There are so many excellent brands providing incredible service and products to operators that we want to make sure that they get the chance to enter these prestigious Supplier Awards.”

 

Nominate your business for the Supplier Awards today for your chance to reaffirm your position as a leading player in the hospitality supply chain.
