Short listed contenders for the Beverage Standards Association (BSA) Awards, the hot drinks industry’s first UK-wide accreditation system, have been announced; winners will be presented with their accolades at the Awards ceremony on Monday 10 November at Manchester’s Midland Hotel.
The results of the BSA 1 to 5 Cup Accreditation Programme will be announced, as well as the winners of the seven National Best Drinks Awards. For the first time winners of the BSA’s three new Awards will also be revealed – BSA “Raising Standards” Award, BSA “Newcomers Award” and BSA “Overall Experience” Award.
Five, Four, Three, and Two Cup accredited entries present at the Midland Hotel ceremony will receive their certificates and window/door decals. These BSA Cup logos will be displayed on their outlet windows or doors to assure the general public they can expect the very finest standard of drinks and service.
In addition, the winners of the seven National Best Drinks Awards will be announced and the successful entries presented with their wall plates, to hang proudly in their cafe/tea shop/mobile/bar or restaurant.
