Farm Shop & Deli Awards Opens Entries Early

Independent retailers selling regional produce or with a delicatessen counter can enter for free from Monday 4th July 2016. Entries close Friday 16th September 2016.

The awards celebrate the very best standards in Britain’s independent speciality retail market, and judges from speciality retail, fine food and media will be awarding titles to businesses which illustrate the highest levels of service, initiative, innovation, product knowledge and community involvement.

Category awards will be awarded across 12 different specialisms, nine regional awards will be presented to each region’s top rated retailer, and the title of Farm Shop & Deli Retailer of the Year will be awarded to the overall winner.

Finalists will be named in March 2017, and winners will be announced live at Farm Shop & Deli Show on Monday 24th April 2017.

Nigel Barden, chairman of judges said, “The artisan food and drink market is particularly competitive and it’s crucial that we recognise those who are championing the sector by leading from the front. It’s important that they can be acknowledged by the public and their peers in the trade.”
