Food and drink manufacturing Oscars tonight
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.
