Sponsor's message: Brakes Catering Supplies and Equipment division provides caterers with a diverse range of products and services; from cleaning chemicals to ovens, from disposables to crockery and from tableware to a full kitchen design and installation service there is something for every customer’s needs.

Supporting the inaugural Equipment Excellence Awards not only endorses our commitment to this sector but also enforces our belief that catering supplies and equipment are an intrinsic and sometimes overlooked part of the hospitality industry. Without some of the innovation that continually comes from the manufacturers in this sector many of the offerings that consumers take for granted would not be possible.

Our customers are continually seeking new ways of improving their offer, and as part of the Brakes Group we are able to provide a solution that not only suits the needs of their business, but their employees, their customers and their budget. However we recognise that without the commitment of our suppliers and their continual investment in research and development we would not be able to maintain the range of products we provide and the customers we satisfy.

These awards are a fantastic opportunity for catering supplies and equipment manufacturers to not only gain recognition for their products but to also substantiate this sectors value to the hospitality industry.

Brakes Catering Supplies and Equipment focuses on the needs of its customers. As a business we seek to find, not just the best way but the most efficient way to add value, that is something we believe the winners of these awards will also be striving for when developing their products.
