FMT Food Industry Awards back for 2025!
How the awards work
It’s back for 2025! The FMT Food Industry Awards is the premier annual awards initiative for the UK food manufacturing and associated sectors. This esteemed awards programme, which consists of a vigorous judging period and 5-star Awards ceremony, celebrates those who work tirelessly to keep the nation fed.
The programme honours innovation across a range of the food industry’s subsectors, awarding ingredient suppliers, machinery and equipment companies, trade organisations, retailers, packaging manufacturers, product innovators and training schemes. It’s an opportunity to applaud the excellence and creativity of the people driving the industry forward.
How we find our winners
Each year, the winners of the product categories are chosen through a meticulous judging process that takes place ahead of the awards ceremony. Hundreds of entries are submitted annually, each evaluated by the FMT judging panel on taste, packaging, aroma, visual appeal and cooking performance.
Participation is open to manufacturers, wholesalers, caterers, independent retailers and supermarkets. There is no entry fee, and you can submit unlimited product entries. All products must be manufactured within the British Isles, including Ireland and can either use British ingredients or be fully produced using non-British ingredients.
Additionally, winners of several award categories will be determined through an industry-wide voting initiative. Readers of Food Management Today and members of the sector will be invited to nominate and vote for their winners.
This is your opportunity to celebrate, and be celebrated, amongst the brightest and best in the food industry.
