Well what a great evening I had last night. I attended the CatererSearch Web Awards in my new green party dress and sparkly shoes. We had been shortlisted in two categories and then all entrants were put forward for the overall winner of Website of the Year.
You can find out more about the awards here: http://www.caterersearch.com/blogs/hospitality-web-awards
The first award we were shortlisted in was the Foodservice Award, unfortunately we did not win this – but as I had promised my boss, I did my losers smile and clapped happily just like at the Oscars! Little did I know how much better the evening was about to get.
Then came the Award for Innovation & Interactivity . . . I listened to the description of the winning website and thought to myself this might just be us! And it was, so up on stage we went to collect a nice shiny silver statue, pose for photos and smile a lot.
The final award of the evening was for Website of the Year. Anyone in the room could win this and it was decided by a combination of the voting public and judges recommendations. The competition was fierce with well known brands such as McCain, hotel chains and top restaurants. Again as they started to describe the winning site, I was thinking this all sounds a lot like http://www.myschoollunch.co.uk/. I have to say I grinned from ear to ear when they read our names as the winner and I pretty much skipped onto the stage to collect another shiny statue.
Wow, what a feeling, to be the overall winner, I am so pleased to have the work I and the rest of the team have put into producing a great website recognised across the whole of the Hotel & Catering industry.
Thank you to you all!
