Entries open for Food and Drink Federation awards
Scottish salmon and trout producers are being invited to enter the 2018 Food and Drink Federation (FDF) Awards, which officially open for entry today.
In September, Hebrides and Sutherland-based salmon farmer Loch Duart was named Regional Growth Business for Scotland & Northern Ireland at the FDF Awards 2017.
The awards give entrants the chance to showcase the work that companies and individual employees are undertaking in areas such as exports, environmental leadership, education and health. This year there are also two new categories; Brand Launch of the Year and Packaging Initiative.
FDF's awards are free to enter and the winners will be announced at an evening event hosted by journalist and food critic Jay Rayner at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in central London, on September 20, 2018.
The awards are open to companies of all sizes including producers, retailers, restaurants, and wholesalers – in fact, any operator in the UK food chain.
FDF director general Ian Wright said: “There is a wealth of talent across the industry with teams and individuals going the extra mile to deliver success. These prestigious awards are a chance for this hard work to be recognised and celebrated, in front of the very best from the industry.”
