Event organiser Jenny Bullock commented: “Winners and finalists are based on voting numbers. Inevitably, some of the larger industry sectors will have more finalists to reflect the size of that particular industry sector and the number of votes received, or where some candidates have tied for votes. The overall vote was once again very substantial, which confirms the remarkable ongoing engagement with this initiative by the industry, and as a result we have some brilliant finalists.”
Gwen Mostyn, editor of Meat Management magazine, which organises and stages the annual awards added: “We are really looking forward to this year’s ceremony and dinner on Friday evening 20th November. The event is always a sell-out and offers a timely opportunity to stay over in London for those who want to do so, and perhaps enjoy the Christmas festivities and shopping. Once again the dinner and ceremony will highlight many amazing people from right across the meat industry and we are delighted to stage it as a highlight in the trade calendar every year.”
Olympic gold medallist and sporting icon Sally Gunnell OBE will host the evening, together with the publisher of Meat Management magazine Graham Yandell MBE.
