This category was a tight vote, with just five votes separating the top two, but Lakes Catering Maintenance came out triumphant.

The event was held at 8 Northumberland Avenue in London on November 23rd.  The catering industry came together for this years gala Catering Insight Awards ceremony to honour the best distributors and suppliers in the market this year.

Now in its third year, the event was attended by more than 220 industry executives from the UK catering equipment industry. The attendees, including representatives from over 40 distributor companies were there to find out the recipients of the 15 award categories, that were presented to honour excellence in both the supplier and distributor side of the industry

Service and maintenance is absolutely critical in the world of catering equipment, and the Catering Insight Service & Maintenance Provider of the Year category, sponsored by the First Choice Group, will reward those that are blazing a trail when it comes to repairing, maintaining and servicing kitchens.

Lakes’ MD Leigh Howard picked up the trophy and commented on the win: “It’s amazing. I’m really proud  of our team and with what we have  achieved together,  I thought ‘no way are we going to win’, but here we are”
