A massive range of products have been delivered by companies from right across the meat industry for evaluation this week as part of the Meat Management Industry Awards.

Product entries by the hundred have been arriving at the Regional Food Academy test kitchens, located at Harper Adams University, Shropshire. The panel of judges headed up by Keith Fisher, the CEO of the Institute of Meat, has started the process of judging a diverse range of entries using a strict criteria.

The results will be revealed later this year at the popular meat awards ceremony scheduled for 12th September at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole. Sharon Yandell, the lead organiser for the Awards said: “I would like to thank everyone who has taken the time to enter. At such a busy period, and with pressure on staffing for many companies, it is not always easy to find the time. However, we have a fantastic range of products to evaluate once again.

“With demand for tickets and tables likely to be high, I recommend an early visit to the website to reserve places for the September ceremony and to take advantage of an early bird booking discount.”
