The prestigious QEII Centre, renowned for conferences and events, earned the Sustainability Award for Catering at the London Venue & Catering Awards. QEII Taste, their catering division led by Jason Dignam and executive chef Danilo Barbagallo, secured this accolade alongside a silver for Best Venue Team.

Judges praised their sustainability measures, lauding the reduction of dishes and the prioritization of plant-based ingredients. Jason Dignam expressed gratitude for the recognition, highlighting their commitment to a sustainable future.
