They are truly unique and represent the highest standards in product, service and innovation across the sector. The Awards offer a brilliant opportunity to recognise the work that is going on and the progress being achieved in so many areas.”

Products are also nominated by the food industry into multiple categories, including: Best Dairy Product, Best Bakery Product, Best Red Meat Product, Best Poultry Product, Best Frozen Product, Best Seafood Product, Best New Product Development, Best Ready to Eat Product and Best Free From Product.

Celebrity chef Michel Roux Jr to host 2024 FMT Food Industry Awards

Legendary chef and popular TV broadcaster Michel Roux Jr is to be the VIP host at this year’s prestigious FMT Food Industry Awards ceremony and lunch in London on Thursday 27th June.

Known for running some of London’s top restaurants, Michel Roux followed his father Albert Roux OBE into the food sector when he left school at 16 for the first of several challenging apprenticeships at Maître Patissier, Hellegouarche in Paris from 1976 to 1979.

Michel was a popular judge and presenter on the BBC’s prime time show, MasterChef: The Professionals, from 2008 to 2013, and presented the series Great British Food Revival. Michel also fronted BBC2’s Food and Drink, programme and in 2015 he lead the BBC2 programme, Michel Roux’s Service, with Fred Sirieix, in which they set out on a personal mission to train eight young people as front-of-house superstars. Michel then went on to present a new programme on his first ever solo project with the Disney Channel: First Class Chefs, which launched in June 2015. The show followed kids aged 9-11 competing to showcase their restaurant skills.
