Organisers of the Women In Meat Industry Awards are reporting high turnout as members of the UK meat industry vote for their finalists in this year’s programme. Voting closes next Friday 26th August.
Over eight thousand votes were received for the 2021 programme, and organisers report that 2022 volumes are about to exceed last year’s grand total, with more than a week still to go until the forum closes.
From Foodservice to Craft Butchery, the awards recognise female talent across the various subsectors of the British and Irish meat industries. The yearly initiative is driven by company or individual nominations and votes to highlight individuals who are really making a difference.

Star power at the 2022 award ceremony
Celebrity chef and TV broadcaster Rachel Allen will host the awards ceremony on 11th November which this year returns to the newly reopened five-star Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, London.
Rachel was a co-host of Good Food Channel’s Market Kitchen and has also appeared on BBC’s Saturday Kitchen. She currently co-hosts The Restaurant alongside Marco Pierre White for RTE. Rachel has been a guest on a wide range of international programmes, including NBC’s Today.
A bestselling cookery writer and celebrated teacher at the world-famous Ballymaloe Cookery School in County Cork, Ireland, Rachel began to study at Ballymaloe at the age of 18, remaining after graduation to cook at the Ballymaloe House Hotel and Restaurant. Since then she has cooked all around the world.
Deputy editor of Meat Management Joanna Thomson commented: “Last year was my first experience of the ceremony and we had an amazing night. It was very special. Once again, all the team at Meat Management are really looking forward to recognising the amazing contribution women make to our industry.
“We are particularly delighted that Rachel Allen can join us to host the evening and I hope as many readers as possible will now vote for the 2022 shortlisted candidates.”
