Celebrating excellence in food and drink manufacturing, the FMEAs are free and straightforward to enter. Simply complete an online entry form or download a form to return it to us by post.

Key categories

Now in their 14th year, the FMEAs recognise the achievements of firms that standout in a number of key fields: manufacturing excellence in key categories, new product development, innovative supply chain initiatives and environmental accomplishments.

There are also awards for the best training programme, small to medium-sized enterprise (SME) and, new this year, Young Talent award. From the category winners, our independent panel of expert judges will appoint an overall Food manufacturing company of the year – won last year by Premier Foods.
