BFFF launches frozen food industry’s first People Awards

British Frozen Food Federation (BFFF) has opened entries for the frozen food industry’s first ever People Awards. The ceremony will be held at the Birmingham Metropole hotel in February 2018.

The awards, which will be free to enter in their first year, will include categories that celebrate those that go above and beyond for their organisation or the wider industry and will cover roles including: commercial, purchasing, supply chain, technical and health and safety as well as the industry’s rising stars.

BFFF chief executive John Hyman says, “We’ve spent 30 years celebrating innovation in our industry and so we felt it was high time all of those people behind the scenes received the recognition they deserve.

“We’re encouraging businesses from across the frozen food industry to nominate those team members, both from within their own organisations and their suppliers, that they feel have gone above and beyond to help further their business or the wider industry.”

The awards scheme, which is also open to non-BFFF members as long as they can demonstrate they operate within the frozen food industry, is accepting nominations until 6 October this year to give businesses enough time to get their entries and supporting documents together.

The shortlist will be announced at this year’s BFFF Annual Luncheon on 21 November with the winners presented with their awards at the ceremony in February next year. The event will follow the association’s Annual Business Conference, Technical Seminar and Health and Safety Seminar which will all be held under one roof for the first time ever.
