THE FOOD MANUFACTURE EXCELLENCE AWARDS 2015 Come to the Carnival! About the event Now in their 15th year and with a Carnival theme for 2015, the Food Manufacturing Excellence Awards evening is a gala event dedicated to recognising and rewarding the very best food and drink manufacturing companies, and providing an evening of fun and entertainment for the food manufacturing community. The Awards recognise manufacturing achievements rather than end products, honouring and highlighting the companies that have displayed innovation, progress and achievements in all areas of the manufacturing process. These include: new product development, business innovation, quality assurance, supply chain improvement, environmental management, process innovation and talent development. Who attends? As the industry s most prestigious annual event, the Awards are attended by MDs, CEOs, Operation and Production Directors, Finance and HR Directors from UK food and drink manufacturing companies. The food and drink manufacturers self nominate, providing a detailed entry documenting their achievements, based on required key criteria complying with the judging process. The entries are judged by a panel of independent experts, each with years of industry experience covering every aspect of food production.
