The shortlist for the Meat Management Meat Industry Awards has been unveiled for 2025 with all finalists listed online ahead of the much-anticipated black-tie dinner and awards ceremony, taking place on Thursday 18th September.

The annual Awards is the meat industry’s biggest initiative, attracting a wide range of guests from across all sectors of the meat and food industry, and is recognised as a key networking occasion.

The event takes place at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel near to the NEC on Thursday 18th September, with comedian, actor and magician Pete Firman welcoming the winners to the stage to receive their accolades.

Graham Yandell MBE, publisher of Meat Management magazine, which stages the awards, commented: “We are delighted to unveil the 2025 shortlist, which features deserving individuals, trade organisations, training scheme providers and businesses of all types. However, there can only be one winner for each category and all will be revealed at the ceremony in September.

“It’s a pleasure to be able to welcome guests to the ceremony, where the best-of-the-best in the meat industry will take to the stage to collect their trophies.

“There is still time to benefit from the early bird booking rates on tables, so I would encourage anyone interested in attending to book their tickets now. As usual, we expect a sell-out networking event.”
