Manufacturing Oscars: previous top winners

We have honoured firms that have demonstrated flair and innovation, service and flexibility and for some, not a little resilience against strong economic headwinds.

Here we feature all the winners since the award’s inception in 2001 in our exclusive photogallery.

The Food Manufacture Excellence Awards recognise the bright lights of food and drink.

Entry is both free and simple. To enter the awards, visit our website at: www.foodmanawards.co.uk or email Jane Rollinson at: jane.rollinson@wrbm.com or call her on: 01293 610439.

This year’s Awards will be presented at a carnival-themed celebration dinner at the Lancaster in London on Tuesday November 3.

Nine categories ​

The Awards include nine individual categories, together with awards for ‘Best New Use of Food Ingredients’, ‘Environmental Initiative of the Year’, ‘Supply Chain Initiative of the Year’, ‘Training Programme of the Year’, and ‘Young Talent of the Year’ now in its second year.

From the nine category winners, the judges will select the ‘Food Manufacture Company of the Year’.

Awards will also be made for ‘SME Innovation of the Year’ (typically a company that employs fewer than 100 people and has a turnover of less that £10M a year) and ‘Judges’ Star Performer’. This award is made to the firm that, in the judges’ opinion, has been outstanding in one particular area of activity.
