With the 2026 Women In Meat Industry Awards dinner and ceremony rapidly approaching, organisers are encouraging those who have not yet booked their tickets or tables to do so now. Only limited availability remains.
The unique and prestigious annual initiative celebrates women working in the British and Irish meat industries. More than 10,000 votes were received this year, once again confirming the popularity and importance of the Women In Meat Industry Awards.
As usual, this year’s awards programme will culminate in a black-tie dinner and ceremony at the 5-star Royal Lancaster Hotel in London on Friday evening 20th November, where the winners of each category will be revealed.
Organiser for the event Jenny Bullock commented: “This year we will once again be celebrating in style at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, with guests welcomed at a sparkling drinks reception before being seated for dinner. Following the evening’s entertainment and awards presentations, the dance floor will open up for the ever popular after party.
“Our VIP host is sporting legend Sally Gunnell OBE and this much-anticipated dinner and ceremony will highlight many talented people from across the meat industry. It is set fair to be another wonderful occasion.”
Speaking about the 2026 ceremony, Gwen Mostyn, editor of Meat Management magazine, which stages the initiative, commented: “It is a delight to be able to welcome Sally Gunnell OBE to the Awards this year, and I can assure guests they can look forward to a very enjoyable evening with the bonus of important networking for all who attend.”
