“The Women In Meat Industry Awards is designed to recognise the vitally important contributions that women make to the meat sector, but voting is not for women only so please share this opportunity with as many colleagues as possible.”

Graham Yandell, publisher of Food Management Today’s sister publication Meat Management, which organises the initiative, said: “A massive thank you goes out to everyone who took the time to send in their nominations for these Awards.

“Despite the unique and challenging circumstances, we saw a great response for nominations with a swathe of entries coming in for truly remarkable and outstanding candidates. This initiative aims to recognise the immense and important role women play in this great industry, and we are looking forward to recognising and celebrating that later this year.”

Pam Brook, the editor of Food Management Today magazine, said: “The Women In Meat Industry Awards is designed to recognise the vitally important contributions that women make to the meat sector, but voting is not for women only so please share this opportunity with as many colleagues as possible. Voting will be open for the majority of August so now is the time to check out the finalists and make your choice.”
