The long wait is nearly over. The Food and Drink Manufacturing Excellence Awards (FMEAs) take place tonight at the Park Lane Hilton Hotel in London.

After months of preparation, the best of the best in food and drink manufacturing will be celebrated in a James Bond-themed gala awards celebration. Hundreds of top industry professionals will gather in central London to recognise the achievement of the men and women who have driven their firms to the peak of business and manufacturing excellence.

Hosted by TV star Mark Durdan Smith, a series of awards will be presented to celebrate achievement in a range of manufacturing categories, in addition to other trophies.

The last award of the evening – the Food manufacturing company of the year – will recognise the outstanding achievement of one particular firm.

Drinks with Bond

Posted by Bunny Deana, 21 November 2014 - 12:18 GMT

I am thrilled to be able to say that I shared a glass of champagne with James Bond! When I was "Bunny Deana" at the London Playboy Club, more than 40 years ago now, I was privileged to have been crowned Playboy Bunny of The Year by George Lazenby (Bond in 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service') and I shall treasure the memory forever. The very precious (to me at least) photo of George performing the crowning, immaculately dressed in his beautiful Bond-style suit, is a proud part of my unique, personal "Bunny Deana's Playboy Photo Album", available to view online.
