Gwen Mostyn, editor of Meat Management magazine, which created and organises the Women In Meat Industry Awards, commented: “It has been another year of fantastic nominations, and we are greatly looking forward to celebrating with this year’s finalists in November at the awards ceremony.

“The shortlist has now been published online, and readers and anyone working in the wider industry can vote for who they think deserves to win at this year’s ceremony.

“These unique annual awards continue to engage many thousands who vote and the ceremony, including dinner and afterparty, will be another very enjoyable and important occasion. It is a special event each year when the industry recognises great female talent.”
