ABOUT THE WOMEN IN FOOD AND DRINK AWARDS

Event Overview

While there have been great strides towards more inclusive and diverse sectors in food and drink, there is still much progress to be made in addressing challenges like the gender pay gap, career progression, and increasing the representation of women in leadership roles. Women who have broken through these barriers serve as role models for future generations, yet we acknowledge that there are still too few in top positions.

These awards also contribute to the broader diversity conversation within the food and drink industry, recognising that the journey toward a truly equal industry is ongoing. With over 20 categories, the awards recognise achievement across leadership, innovation, entrepreneurship, sustainability, and community impact.
