Dawnvale Group Recognised at the FEJ Awards for Multi-Site Project Delivery

We were delighted to see Dawnvale Group recognised as a finalist at the Foodservice Equipment Journal (FEJ) Awards, having been shortlisted for Multi-Site Kitchen Project of the Year.

The nomination reflects the hard work and dedication of our teams in delivering a wide range of complex projects throughout the year. This included multiple Hickory’s Smokehouse kitchen fit-outs across the UK, alongside the successful delivery of hospitality projects for the NEC Group, completed concurrently to demanding programmes.

2025 has been an exceptional year working in partnership with Hickory’s, a brand that continues to set the standard within the smokehouse sector. Over the past twelve months, we delivered twelve bespoke new or refurbished kitchens, averaging a new opening or refurbishment every four weeks. Sites in York, Chester, Milton Keynes, Standish, Swindon, Sheffield, Leicester, Telford, Cardiff, Northampton, Thornaby and Castle Bromwich all benefited from the brand’s continued investment and growth.

Alongside this, our team delivered three premium hospitality spaces at the BP Pulse LIVE Arena, NEC, and four hospitality suites at the Utilita Arena Birmingham within the same eight-week timeframe. Working to design schemes by Jump Studios, these projects demonstrated our ability to deliver multiple large-scale arena projects simultaneously while maintaining quality and attention to detail.

While we did not win the award, we are extremely grateful to FEJ for the nomination and proud of the recognition it represents. Congratulations to all the other finalists, and thank you to our clients, partners and teams for another outstanding year.
