Each year, during the Northern Restaurant & Bar event, the Kuits NRB Top Fifty Awards are revealed. These awards recognise fifty top hospitality operators who have excelled both commercially and critically over the past twelve months. Three operators will also be awarded for their commitment to the industry, which has been deemed exceptional by the judges.
“In essence, these awards are a gauge of hospitality in the North, showing its huge resilience, strength, and depth,” says Chris Brazier, Group Event Director of Diversified Communications, organisers of Northern Restaurant & Bar and the Kuits NRB Top Fifty Awards.
“These important awards will once again identify and celebrate both experienced and trailblazing operators who are delivering exceptional experiences, undeniable quality, and ambition, whilst contributing to Northern hospitality”
Specialist legal advisors, Kuits, have continued their headline sponsorship of the awards in 2023.
Head of Leisure and Licensing for Kuits, Felicity Tulloch comments; “As specialist legal advisors to the leisure sector, Kuits is delighted to once again be involved in this important, industry-leading event. We are proud to support and judge the Kuits NRB Top Fifty awards as we have done for several years.
“The awards provide an important platform and recognition for the most exciting and influential operators in the hospitality industry. In the last two years we have seen just how adaptable and resilient the operators in this sector are. Northern Restaurant & Bar provides a national stage for the North’s thriving food and drink industry, and we’re proud to be associated with it.”
Kuits NRB Top Fifty is held in association with Bruntwood, CGA by NielsenIQ, Marsh Commercial, Metis Real Estate, NatWest, Uber Eats, and Zellar.
The awards are judged by a panel of leading hospitality experts who cover the fields of law, finance, property, insurance, marketing, and business consultancy. Judges are looking for operators who show consistent commercial success, as well as evolution and innovation and who have made a greater contribution to the industry and the region in terms of skills, training, ambassadorial work and CSR.
The Kuits NRB Top Fifty will be announced at Northern Restaurant & Bar 2023 taking place on 14-15 March at Manchester Central. Northern Restaurant & Bar, sponsored by Uber Eats, is the first major hospitality show of the year, and is a fantastic place for the industry to come together, to network, be inspired and do business.
