“The Women in Food & Drink Awards play a vital role in celebrating the innovation, leadership, and creativity women bring to this fast-evolving industry. Recognition through initiatives like this not only empowers individuals but also inspires a more inclusive and forward-thinking food and drink landscape. By highlighting exceptional female talent, we set new standards for excellence and collaboration across the sector. I strongly encourage everyone to nominate women from their networks who are driving positive change and shaping the future of food and drink.”
