The CEDA Grand Prix Awards took place last Friday evening, and we were delighted to receive special recognition for our work on St. Chad’s College project!

We received an ‘Oustanding Achievement accolade’ for the project, which we started working on in mid December, completed in early January and which involved a full refurbishment of the catering areas in the college, where we updated and modernised these areas as well as separating the kitchen and servery spaces.

The CEDA Grand Prix Awards took place on April 27th with a formal Gala Awards Dinner being held before the highly anticipated awards ceremony.

Taking place at the Hilton Hotel at St George’s Park, Burton upon Trent, the awards recognise businesses who have demonstrated creativity, success and who have gone above and beyond what is expected of them.

The categories included awards for ‘Small Project’, ‘Medium Project’, ‘Large Project’, ‘Outstanding Customer Service’ and ‘Project Management’, the latter for which we were shortlisted.

The GastroNorth team had a fantastic time at the conference/awards and it was great to learn more about some of the excellent catering projects that had been completed during the last 12 months.

Although we didn’t win the award we were nominated for, it was amazing to still receive recognition on a project that we put so much effort into and in which we received such positive feedback from the client, who was overwhelmed with the end result.

We at GastroNorth would like to say a huge congratulations and well done to all of the winners and those who were shortlisted for the awards, you all did fantastic!

We would also like to say a massive thank you to everyone who has supported GastroNorth over the years, as we really do appreciate it.

Let’s see what the rest of the year brings for us! Watch this space!

We at GastroNorth are delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted for a CEDA Grand Prix Award for our work with St Chad’s College!

The CEDA Grand Prix Awards, which is currently in its 31st year, recognises companies who have carried out outstanding design projects over the past year and provided excellent customer service.

The award we have been nominated for is in the Project Management category for our work on designing and installing a new kitchen and servery area at St Chad’s College in Durham.

We began work on this project in December 2017 and completed it, within budget and to schedule, in January 2018 when we unveiled a more modern, yet still traditional, kitchen space to contrast with the college’s grand dining hall.

Although we encountered a few obstacles such as the site being inaccessible to vehicles, as well as extreme weather and a bout of flu throughout the team, our client was extremely happy with the results and said they would definitely choose us again for any future projects and would have no hesitation in recommending us to others.

CEDA’s independent judges will now be visiting all of the shortlisted sites to speak to staff and look around at the completed projects to decide on the winners.

The winners of the awards will be announced during the CEDA Conference Gala Dinner on Friday 27th April 2018 at the Hilton Hotel in Burton upon Trent.

Here at GastroNorth, we offer many services such as CAD design, equipment supplies, installations and staff training, and have a team of experienced and dedicated professionals at hand to assist you with your kitchen projects and foodservice systems.

We are very honoured and grateful to be nominated for this award, and we will be keeping our fingers crossed ahead of the results! Wish us luck!
