Caterfood Buying Group Awards 2023

December 20, 2023

“No one ever made a difference by being like everyone else”.

Part of our annual Winter Conference, held in Exeter, the awards evening was a show-stopper with our Greatest Showman theme. 22 awards were given out on the night to our incredible teams, across our seven member businesses. It was a great night, celebrating our colleagues and filled with karaoke and dancing!
