“Given the impact of the pandemic it seems even more poignant to recognise the wide ranging and important contribution made by women to the success of the UK meat industry. This is what our awards are all about.”Commenting on this year and the new nomination process, Meat Management publisher, Graham Yandell said: “Given the impact of the pandemic it seems even more poignant to recognise the wide ranging and important contribution made by women to the success of the UK meat industry. This is what our awards are all about.”The dedicated website is now open for nominations which are then followed with voting for the finalists.Yandell added: “It’s full steam ahead with finding our finalists and winners. However, we also appreciate the current situation with Covid-19 may have left some sponsors, partners and businesses uncertain as to whether the Women in Meat Industry Awards Ceremony will take place this autumn as scheduled.“I can say that plans are already well progressed, but of course right now we are simply unable to answer that question with total certainty. However, the organising team continues to plan towards and is looking forward to staging another successful event, and naturally we will continue to monitor Government guidelines and advice, and adapt accordingly.”The voting response from previous years has been phenomenal, with almost 7,000 votes cast in 2019 and given the impact of the virus on every sector of the meat industry, organisers hope that nominations and votes will be maintained at that level. Key workers and management teams have all played a tremendous part in keeping the nation and their businesses running.Yandell concluded: “If you have a colleague, manager, chief executive, butcher or anyone you’d like to see acknowledged for their contribution then get voting at www.womeninmeatawards.com."
