Publisher of Meat Management magazine, who organise the awards, Graham Yandell MBE commented: “It is always fantastic to bring the industry together for these prestigious awards, and this year is no exception. We are looking forward to welcoming both familiar and new faces to the ceremony this year, which promises to be a sell-out event.
“Our finalists are, as ever, well deserved, and it will be a pleasure to announce who has won at the ceremony next month. Of course, the winners are not pre-informed and will only find out if they have won on the night.
“The worthy winner of the prestigious Meat Management Excellence Award will once again be announced outright on the night, and we eagerly await the big reveal!”
