Representatives from each catering service area were invited to attend the awards ceremony and celebrate the efforts made by the catering staff across the county borough.
The awards were divided into four categories – Bronze, Silver, Gold and Special Excellence and covered a variety of criteria relating to the service provided by the catering teams. One team won the Bronze award; whilst there were 12 teams who were winners of the Silver award and 69 teams won a Gold award. The Special Excellence Certificate was awarded to 10 teams, bringing the total number of winners to 92.
The final award presented was the David Joseph Cup, which is awarded to the team who has achieved 100% compliance with all quality standards during an independent monitoring audit not just this year but also over the last several years. Stuart Rosser, Interim Chief Executive of Caerphilly County Borough Council, presented staff from Cwm Ifor Primary Kitchen with the award and congratulated them on their hard work.

However, I would also like to extend these congratulations to every member of staff who work as part of Caerphilly County Borough Council’s Catering Service and thank them for their continual hard work.
