Britain’s biggest meat industry awards open for product nominations
This year’s Meat Management Industry Awards, the sector’s biggest, longest-established and most successful awards initiative, is set for a record number of product entries – according to organisers.
Culminating in the much-anticipated black-tie dinner and awards ceremony on Thursday 19th September at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, the awards’ product nomination process for 2024 has exceeded all expectations so far, with this year’s promotion welcoming entries and voting across 21 categories.
New for this year is the Best Charcuterie Product category which is set to reveal some brilliant products for the first time at the Awards.
The popular and prestigious annual initiative recognises the best manufacturers and producers, products, suppliers, retailers, individuals and organisations across the UK meat industry.
The Meat Management Industry Awards is once again set to be the event of the year. Presented by celebrity guest host Martin Bayfield, the awards’ black-tie dinner and ceremony offer guests a unique opportunity to network and celebrate in style.
Both the voting and product nominations processes are now open for readers of Meat Management magazine and meatmanagement.com plus the wider industry. Everyone is invited to go online to nominate products across a range of categories and to vote for their industry choices.

Rewarding excellence
Two of the most popular awards presented at the annual ceremony are the Young Manager of the Year Award and the Meat Management Excellence Award. Both are given to individuals, usually at pivotal times in their careers, who have excelled within their chosen fields or made an outstanding contribution to the industry.
Publisher of Meat Management magazine Graham Yandell MBE commented: “The Meat Management Industry Awards is currently accepting product nominations or votes across all categories.
“There is always great interest for the Young Manager Award and nominations should be made now. Also, the prestigious Excellence Award relies entirely on nominations, so we encourage as many as possible to get involved, and put forward a person you feel should be honoured.”
Tickets and tables for the September ceremony and dinner are available to book now with an early booking discount saving £140 on a table. Organisers expect a sell-out event on Thursday 19th September at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, near to the NEC, so the message is to reserve your table without delay and save money.
