First things first: a happy new year from all here at H2O Publishing! I hope everyone had a great break and a fantastic Christmas.
Well, that all seems like a long time ago here, as we have really hit the ground running. It may not even be February yet, but we have already convened an impressive array of industry experts to judge the 2026 Contract Catering Awards.
As you can probably tell from the sheer length of the list (see page 10), it was a record year for entries and a particularly tricky task this time around as a result! A huge congratulations to everyone who made the cut, and thanks to our judges for their much-appreciated time, knowledge and expertise.
Looking back to last time around, if this has got you wondering just what it takes to win one, Nicolette Millward from Restaurant Associates reveals all on page 24. She tells us about all the impressive work it took to claim the Business and Industry Award last year.
Last, but certainly not least, if you would like to attend the 14th iteration of our industry-leading awards, they will be held on 3rd March at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in London. You can sign up at contractcateringawards.co.uk – though you’ll need to be fast! We can’t wait to greet you at what promises to be another great night for the sector.
