The deadline for entry into this year’s Best Marketing Campaign - independent and group – is fast approaching.

Companies wishing to compete for a prestigious Caterer and Hotelkeeper Award (Catey) have until 23 March to do so.

Last year’s winners, the Cotswold House Hotel and Wagamama, in the independent and group brackets respectively, showed once again how important well targeted marketing campaigns are to commercial success.

So if you've run an enterprising and effective overall marketing campaign over the past 12 months and want to shout about it, please e-mail Sarah.Sutton@rbi.co.uk for an entry form.
