UK Wagyu beef manufacturer Warrendale Wagyu has received the King's Award for Enterprise in the innovation category for 2024.
Warrendale Wagyu has been acknowledged for working with a "quality breed of cattle and group of UK farmers to drive a customer-led approach", and will be joining over 7,000 enterprises that have also received Royal recognition.
The business is currently working in partnership with over 600 farmers across the country who can take advantage of its supply chain. Warrendale Wagyu said it is "striving to continuously improve the quality of livestock throughout the chain", creating localised supply chain triangles wherever possible.
Jim Bloom, founder of Warrendale Wagyu commented on receiving the award: "Receiving the King's Award is an honour for Warrendale Wagyu after founding the business seven years ago.
"We work closely with many farmers across the UK to produce British Wagyu Beef and are also very fortunate to have established some long-term customers who value the product and supply chain we have created.
"The award is great recognition of our efforts in building relationships and working with some great partners to create sustainable business."
The official reception will take place at Windsor Castle on 9th July 2024.
