GastroNorth Outstanding at CEDA Grand Prix

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!

GastroNorth Shortlisted for CEDA Grand Prix Award

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!

GastroNorth Winners Blog Catering Insight Awards

GastroNorth became double award winners last week at the 2017 Catering Insight Awards when the team were presented with the Digital Initiative Award.

Director’s Tim Whitfield and Richard Toye, Sales Manager Zoe Whitfield and Office Manager Tracey Toye headed down to London to attend the prestigious award ceremony, which saw distributors and suppliers come together to celebrate the industry’s leading firms. 

Last year, GastroNorth were awarded the Northern Distributor of the Year Award and this year were shortlisted for the Northern award once again, as well as the Digital Initiative award.

With tough competition throughout the final awards shortlist, it was an honour for the hard-working and forward-thinking team, who have completed a record number of projects this year, to be in the running for two accolades in the industry’s most illustrious awards. 

GastroNorth were announced as the winners of the Distributor Digital Initiative of the Year Award, a new category for 2017 which was created to honour a distributor who has embraced the digital medium, whether it’s for sales, service, technology, showcasing their abilities or an innovative social media campaign. 

The firm’s commitment to going that extra step was rewarded when they were announced as the Digital Initiative winner, being recognised for the digital platform created specifically for their development kitchen, the GastroLab, as well as their new project management system and increased social media presence.

The team were also a runner up for the Northern Distributor of the Year Awards, but were happy to walk away with one award for the second year in a row.

Director’s Tim and Richard said: “We’re over the moon to have won a Catering Insight Award for the second year in a row – to have won awards for the Northern Distributor and Digital Initiative just proves that we’re doing something right – I hope we can be Catering Insight Award winners three years running in 2018.”

GastroNorth shortlisted for 2 awards at prestigious industry event…

GastroNorth are delighted to have been shortlisted in no less than two categories for the up and coming Catering Insight Awards 2017.

Taking place on November 23 in London, the event showcases the movers and shakers of the catering and foodservice sector, who hope to be victorious in their areas of expertise.

At last year’s Catering Insight Awards, we were overjoyed to be presented with the award for the Northern Distributor of the Year and this year, we hope to do the same.

This time round, we have not only been shortlisted for the Northern Distributor of the Year, but also the Distributor Digital Initiative of the Year award and are so thankful to the Catering Insight team for recognising our work.

For the Northern award, we were chosen thanks to the astounding year we’ve had in 2017, which began with the opening our onsite demonstration kitchen, the GatsroLab. We have also completed a record number of projects, as well as being nominated in the CEDA Gran Prix Awards for the £3m Glasgow College refit.

Our GastroLab is also the reason we have been shortlisted for the Digital Initiative award. The development kitchen has its own digital platform, which allows users to learn about the facility and book into upcoming events. Our new project management system and increased social media presence have also played a part in this.

We would like to thank all of the suppliers for their continued support throughout the year, without you, none of this would be possible.

We’re looking forward to seeing everyone on the evening and wish everyone who has been nominated for an award the best of luck.
