Beverages manufacturing company of the year
The beverage manufacturing company of the year honour was won by Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE) for its “impressive” track record of investment in its facilities, people and ‘green’ measures.
Richard Davies, vice president of supply chain operations, at CCE picked up the trophy from Waitrose’s technical manager Jonathan Bayne.
Its commitment offering consumers low- and no-calories drinks – reflected by the launch of its stevia-sweetened Coca-Cola Life – was also a contributing factor in CCE’s awards success.
Judges said: “CCE was a very strong entry, demonstrating progress across a range of criteria – from product innovation and manufacturing efficiency to its positive work with local communities.”
