Some tickets are still available for the 2019 Irish Food & Drink Business Awards presentation ceremony and gala dinner to be held at the Citywest Hotel in Dublin on the evening of Thursday, 5 September 2019. The winners of the 2019 Awards will be named at the event.
The prestigious awards programme, which was first introduced last year, is the first of its kind in celebrating and promoting the best of the Irish food and drink manufacturing industry and the people behind the products. The Awards recognise innovation and excellence across the entire food and drink industry on the island of Ireland.
The Awards cover 18 categories across the full spectrum of the Irish food and drink industry including – ingredients, fresh produce, dairy, meat/poultry, seafood, beverages, bakery, confectionery and spirits. The Awards also recognise achievements within specific product categories – free from/vegan, health & wellness and own label brand. Other Award categories include: Food & Drink Innovation Company of the Year, Food Service Company of the Year, Sustainable Company of the Year, Supply Chain Company of the Year and Packaging Company of the Year.
In addition to the 18 Awards categories, there are also two additional Awards – The Gran Prix Food & Drink Company of the Year – the winner being selected from the winners of other main categories – and the Lifetime Achievement Award.
