FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sydney, Australia | Tuesday, 26th October, 2010.

Acer Arena won the prestigious awards of National Caterer of the Year and Venue Caterer of the Year. Acer Arena

team. There are many venues around the world that would give anything to have catering of this calibre. The awards are
well deserved and they reinforce the standards that have been set at Acer Arena that places it amongst the top arenas in
the world”.
