apetito, the leading supplier of food to the health and social care sector, has received the Business Services Award at the Leaders in Care Awards.

These awards celebrate organisations who work in partnership with care providers to help them operate effectively and make a real difference to the lives of elderly and vulnerable people in care.

apetito is committed to long term support of the industry and more importantly resident wellbeing. As a supplier, it looks to drive change through innovation and work closely with key bodies in the sector to provide solutions to the challenges faced by the industry. As a partner, it is dedicated to helping customers to be more sustainable and enable care homes to provide a great dining experience to their residents, through skills such as plate presentation to creating a dementia-friendly dining environment.

Having built a business on supporting society’s most vulnerable people, and to ensure they get the most out of the food they eat, apetito offers a wide range of nutritious and sustainable meals to suit every taste and dietary requirement. apetito also proudly supports industry bodies such as the Malnutrition Task Force, an independent group of experts united to address avoidable and preventable malnutrition in older people.

Andy Lowe, Divisional Manager for Care Homes at apetito commented, “These awards honour the finest across the industry and we’re delighted to be among those.
