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.

Care catering professionals around the country work tirelessly 365 days a year, ensuring that their residents feel safe, cared for and nourished. To recognise the achievements of just a small sample of these unsung heroes each year is both a pleasure and an honour.

Each year, I look forward to our gala awards dinner where we will come together with fellow members, colleagues and friends, to reflect, recognise and celebrate the amazing people in our sector. I wish all the finalists the very best of luck!”
