Organisers of the Food Management Today Industry Awards have announced that the 2025 awards initiative has been launched and that response has already been positive.
The annual awards recognise the outstanding work and excellence of food processors, manufacturers, retailers and people across the UK food sector.
Trade organisations, ingredient suppliers, machinery and equipment companies, products and training schemes are honoured as part of the programme.
Product nominations and online voting for the 2025 initiative are now live on the Food Management Today website, and can be accessed by clicking here.
The 2025 initiative
The 2025 awards business luncheon will return to the Royal Garden Hotel in London on Thursday 26th June, and will welcome guests from all corners of the industry to enjoy a unique networking opportunity.
Retailers and manufacturers can nominate products for entry into one or more of the product categories, with a panel of industry experts set to judge all nominated products that are received. Readers and the wider industry can also vote in seven additional categories, which will honour individuals, manufacturers and retailers.
Those nominating their products will be contacted in due course with further details and the address for product delivery. Judging for the awards will be held at the Reiser UK Test Kitchens in Milton Keynes with products to be delivered on Tuesday 11th February 2025.

I am sure we are set for another excellent year.
“However, you have to be in it to win it, so ensure you nominate your products soon or vote for who you think should be crowned at the 2025 FMT Food Industry Awards ceremony.
