The much-anticipated 2024 Meat Management Industry Awards will return on Thursday 19th September for a black-tie dinner and awards ceremony.

The annual awards initiative will celebrate the achievements of individuals, retailers, manufacturers, butchers and suppliers, with guests invited to the Hilton Birmingham Metropole near to the NEC to find out who will be taking home an award.

Hosting the event will be popular after dinner speaker and ex-England rugby star, Martin Bayfield. His TV appearances include Celebrity MasterChef, where he reached the finals, plus a variety of rugby commentaries. He also featured as the stunt double of half-giant Rubeus Hagrid in the Harry Potter film series.

This year’s category finalists can be seen here.

Graham Yandell MBE, publisher of Food Management Today and Meat Management magazine, who stage the awards, said: “This year’s ceremony is set to be a very special occasion as Martin Bayfield returns to the Meat Management Industry Awards for another fantastic evening.

“Martin is sure to provide lots of laughs and interesting anecdotes – he is an excellent speaker with a real passion for what he does.

“There is still time to book a table or buy tickets, so if you wish to attend I would encourage you to book them now to avoid disappointment.”
