Calling all LET distributors – are you in the running?
FEA’s LET Forum Awards are open for entries – and there’s a new Distributor Award on the block!
The Light Equipment and Tableware Forum is fast approaching and it’s time for distributors to be thinking about getting their name in the running for the LET Forum awards – especially as there’s a new accolade up for grabs.
“There are lots of really high performing distributors out there, brilliant partners that really go the extra mile and this year we wanted to do more to recognise them,” says Paula Sherlock, chair of FEA’s LET product group. “We’re going to have two major Distributor awards:
- Distributor of the Year – Group company,
- and
- Distributor of the Year – Independent.
“This year’s addition of an independent award is intended to recognise the regional, independent or specialist distributors that work so hard to support the sector.”
The two winners of the Distributor of the Year Awards will be selected by the LET suppliers who exhibit at the Forum.
The LET Sales Professional of the Year is also open for entries. This celebrates those salespeople who offer ‘above and beyond’ customer service, win major business contracts or who have success in developing sales of utensils and smallwares. The winner gets the coveted trophy, a free place on FEA’s Certified Foodservice Professional (CFSP) training course plus £500 in cash. To enter your salesperson for the award, click here
FEA has already announced another new award – the LET Distributor Project of the Year. This one will celebrate an outstanding project, looking at areas such as sustainability and any challenges that the distributor was able to overcome.

The final honour to be unveiled on the night is the Donald Bird Award, which recognises an individual who has gone the extra mile and had a significant impact on the light equipment and tableware industry – last year’s winner was industry stalwart Steve Goodliff.
All the awards are announced during the LET Forum Awards Dinner. This year the Forum celebrates its 20th edition at a new venue, the Oxford Belfry Hotel, on the 20th and 21st May 2025. The Forum is free for distributors to attend although you need to book in advance and places are strictly limited. Tickets include entry to the Forum itself, accommodation and meals in the Oxford Belfry Hotel, and a place at the Forum awards.

“There’s no way that our sales teams could visit this many suppliers over the course of one a half days. The LET Forum is brilliant for bringing everyone together, saving us time on the road, and ensuring that we are ahead of the curve for market innovations”, LET Distributor Delegate.
