Organisers of the annual Food Management Today Industry Awards are reporting a wide range of incoming product nominations as well as category voting, as this year’s promotion gets into full swing.

There are 16 categories in total and the popular awards ceremony and black tie dinner is scheduled to take place in London on the evening of 6th June 2023.

The FMT Food Industry Awards recognise the hard work and excellence of food processors and manufacturers across the UK food sector, as well as trade organisations, ingredients suppliers, machinery and equipment companies, product innovations, people and training.

How to participate

The awards are structured in two parts. Readers are invited to vote in seven categories, while manufacturers and retailers can nominate products for entry into one or more of the nine product categories which will be judged by industry experts. Once again the product categories for 2023 will be judged at the test kitchens located at the Harper Adams Regional Food Academy, and already interest is said to be high for what promises to be another very successful year.

Cast your vote or nominate your products online now at www.foodmanagement.today/awards.

Organiser Paige Philips commented: “These annual awards go from strength to strength and previous category winners and our category partners have praised the ongoing initiative following the highly successful ceremony presentation back in May 2022, hosted by celebrity chef Matt Tebbutt.

“We returned to an in-person ceremony in 2022 and it was so nice to bring together many of the UK’s leading companies and retailers plus key food industry movers and shakers to celebrate the best of the best. The message for this year is to vote now and nominate your products!”
