Cateys 2021 shortlist revealed

The shortlist for those in the running to win a coveted Catey award has been announced.

The Cateys will once again recognise the most talented individuals, resilient brands and strongest performers in the hospitality industry at JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, on 7 September.

Hundreds of the industry's finest operators met for some intense debate to draw up shortlists and winners to recognise those businesses and individuals that have excelled in the past year, despite the pressures of the Covid pandemic.

The Caterer's editor James Stagg said: "Having already witnessed the excitement of our judges at the prospect of returning to Grosvenor House, we've had a taste of the magic of the Cateys and can't wait to welcome the industry and celebrate on what will be a special evening."
