The 2025 initiative
The prestigious 2025 awards business luncheon will return to the 5-Star Royal Garden Hotel in London on Thursday 26th June 2025, and will welcome guests from all corners of the industry to enjoy a unique networking opportunity.
Retailers and manufacturers can nominate products for entry into one or more of the product categories, with a panel of industry experts set to judge all nominated products that are received.
Readers and the wider industry can also vote in seven additional categories, which will honour individuals, manufacturers and retailers.
Those nominating their products will be contacted in due course with further details and the address for product delivery. Judging for the awards will be held at the Reiser UK Test Kitchens in Milton Keynes with products to be delivered on Tuesday 11th February 2025.
Graham Yandell MBE, of Food Management Today, who organise and stage the awards, said: “Following a fantastic ceremony in 2024, hosted by Michel Roux Jr. we are currently receiving product nominations and voting entries for the 2025 initiative. I am sure we are set for another excellent year.
“Deadline is fast approaching and you have to be in it to win it, so ensure you nominate your products now or vote for who you think should be acknowledged at the 2025 FMT Food Industry Awards ceremony.
“The product nomination process is quick, simple and free, and you can enter as many products as you like across multiple categories. Winners and finalists receive great publicity, so make sure you get involved.”
The voting page can be accessed here, and the product nomination form can be found here.
