Who does a great job for you offering outstanding service? Who can you rely on to deliver on its promise? Who do you trust when it comes to meeting production targets utilising the equipment you rely on to do just that? Does equipment allow your business to move forward and progress, offering excellent payback times on your investment? Now is your chance to vote for the supplier that does a great job for you.

And does it actively help its members, together with the wider industry, to face the issues with a clear authoritative voice?

Food businesses can’t always recruit ideally skilled employees as readily as they would like. They therefore need to invest in the education and development of staff. We want to recognise who has done that well in 2020. Does your company have a training scheme to be proud of, or do you know of one? Alternatively, is there an organisation or trade body supplying training that you believe deserves recognition?

The individual may work directly in food processing or be employed in a trade body or promotional organisation. Who do you know that merits such recognition? Make sure you nominate now.
