With quality and excellence at its heart, Farm Shop & Deli Show is set to launch a fantastic new Product Awards scheme when it returns to the NEC, Birmingham this April (25th – 27th).
Adding unrivalled value to regional food and drink producers and showcasing excellence in the industry, the awards will celebrate the very best that the UK has to offer. Across six categories (Meat, Condiments, Bakery, Beverages, Confectionery, and Preserves) an esteemed panel of judges will consider criteria such as sustainability, ethical brand stories and provenance before announcing the winners.
Andrew Reed, Managing Director Events & Exhibitions says, “With categories ranging from Confectionery to Condiments, these awards will celebrate the incredible range of products on offer in the Farm Shop community. COVID-19 amplified the demand for locally-sourced, high-quality products and in creating these awards, we hope to shine a spotlight on the fantastic producers we have in the UK and their unwavering dedication to excellence.
“In a recently completed survey, 94% of respondents considered attending Farm Shop & Deli Show as important to their business and so it’s fitting that following a tough period in our industry’s history we come together and launch these awards in recognition of this sector’s unparalleled expertise.”
Farm Shop & Deli Product Awards will get underway in April 2022 commemorating and showcasing quality products that are grown, reared or created exclusively in the UK.
