United Biscuits Scoops Top Prize at FDF Awards 2013
United Biscuits received the top accolade at the prestigious Food and Drink Federation (FDF) Awards last night, at a ceremony which celebrated the successes and positive contribution of food and drink businesses, held at London's Vinopolis. The company was commended by FDF President Jim Moseley for its success in exports, for which it won the Exporter of the Year (Large Company) Award earlier in the evening.
The FDF Awards recognise the achievements of food and drink businesses across a number of categories including: Innovation, Community Partner, Good Employer, Exporter of the Year, Environmental Leadership, Health and Wellbeing Champion, Growth Business, Education Initiative, Food and Drink Scientist, Food and Drink Engineer, and Apprentice of the Year.
The FDF President's Award winner is chosen by the FDF President from amongst the category winners.
Jim Moseley, FDF President, said:
“Winning an FDF Award is a real coup for any food and drink business. This year's award entries were truly inspiring and reflect the hard work, passion and creativity of those working in our industry. I believe that United Biscuits deserves special recognition in this year's Awards for its work to boost exports, its collaboration with others to address the looming skills shortage and the way it drives innovation in the industry.”
