Charles Boyd, Chester Boyd
“In my world and the people I mix with and employ, the Cateys are the place to be, it is ‘THE’ event [and] that is as true today as it was 10 years ago.”

Stuart Procter, Stafford Hotel
“I thought it was a very slick event and there were certainly some well deserved winners.”

Rachelle Peterson, Filmbank
“The event was amazing and so well organised, I personally was very proud to be there and represent Filmbank at such a prestigious event.”

Richard Ball, Calcot Manor
“It was, as always, a brilliant evening and the awards were well targeted. The dinner in particular was one of the best I can remember.”

Arnold Fewell
“It was a fantastic evening and how extra special it was winning the Group Marketing Catey and then for a client to win a second one. I suppose awards don’t get better than that, especially when it is the Cateys – the undisputed Oscars of the industry.”

Mat Baker, Premier Foods
“Tuesday’s event was fantastic. In the current economic climate the turnout and tone was a real testament to the esteem that the awards are held in within the industry.”

Zoe Jenkins, Coworth Park
“The event is totally unique in that there are so many key figures, movers, shakers and humble employees of the hospitality industry, together in the same room, on the same night.”

Andrew Phillips, Boodle’s
“Certainly, from my perspective, the evening was a resounding success and continues to create an aura of anticipation and excitement for all of us in the trade.”

Stuart Johnson, Brown’s Hotel
“As always, it did not fail to exceed expectations with a line-up of some of the most appropriate winners of the most esteemed awards within our industry, capped with a most amusing cabaret compere.”

Jonathan Raggett, the Red Carnation Hotel Collection
“Thank you for a fabulous evening at The Cateys. As always, I thought it was one of the highlights of the year and brilliantly performed.”

Arnold Fewell, Managing Director, AVF Marketing Ltd
“When Richard Ware and I faced 200 school caterers to launch the 10 out of 10 Campaign we had no idea that 15 months later we would be collecting the Group Marketing Catey in front of 1000 leaders of the Industry.  Cambridgeshire Catering Services has built on that success with a further 9% growth.”
