“The UK’s food and drink industry does a brilliant job of providing us all with a wide range of delicious and nutritious food and drink at affordable prices every day.
“FDF’s Awards are once again celebrating the excellence, innovation, talent and dedication of our colleagues across the industry, without whose work this would not be possible. And we’re celebrating the impact the industry has more broadly – in the work our companies do in their communities, on our progress to improve equality, diversity and inclusion, and in the steps we are making to reach net zero.
