The entry deadline is now 22 November, giving operators a few more days to refine and complete their applications for hospitality’s biggest awards ceremony.
The awards, which have been running for more than a quarter of a century, highlight the best operators in the trade, across a wide range of categories.
Outstanding entries
Ed Bedington, editor of The Morning Advertiser, which organises the awards, said: “This year is already looking set to be a great competition with some outstanding entries already in the bag.
“We’re extending the deadline to give everyone the chance to showcase the best they have to offer.”
This year sees the reintroduction of the Responsible Retailing award, which aims to give recognition for companies doing good work in this space. So if you’re investing heavily into safety and security, or partnering with outside agencies to deliver exceptional services, or even developing a strong range of low-and-no alcohol products – that’s the category for you.
