NACC Chair Comments
Neel Radia, National Chair of the NACC, said:
*”Once again, we have received an outstanding set of nominations for our annual awards, which are recognised as a benchmark of achievement in the care catering sector. Judging has been challenging and everyone on this year’s shortlist has already made a significant impact for those they serve.
Care catering has faced many challenges recently, yet professionals across the sector continue to work tirelessly to ensure residents feel safe, nourished and supported. Recognising even a small number of these unsung heroes each year is a real honour.
I look forward to our gala awards dinner where we will celebrate the remarkable dedication of our members and colleagues. I wish all finalists the very best of luck.”
