Reynolds was delighted to sponsor the 2015 Hotel Catey Awards last week, British hospitality’s biggest and most prestigious awards night for the Hotel sector.
Now in their ninth year, the awards are the hotel industry’s independent benchmark of operational excellence. This year the Hotel Cateys took place on Friday 27th November at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge, London.
Since their launch in 2007, the Hotel Cateys have celebrated the most successful hotels, hoteliers and hotel employees across the UK. They were created to recognise and reward those individuals and teams that work tirelessly to make sure their business delivers an exceptional guest experience, day in, day out.
Reynolds was proud to sponsor theConference and Banqueting Team of the Year award, which was won by Whittlebury Hall Hotel, in Whittlebury, Northamptonshire.
Paul Collins, Commercial Director, who gave out the award on behalf of Reynolds, commented: “We supply many independent hotels and groups right across the UK with the freshest fruit and vegetables, and it’s great that the team at Reynolds can do their bit to help reward those individuals who work so hard for the industry. Congratulations to Whittlebury Hall Hotel on a well deserved win.”
Reynolds would like to take this opportunity to congratulate all the award winners and runners up. You can read more about the awards here.
