Hands up who enjoyed the 2014 Food Manufacturing Excellence Awards? Well you obviously can’t see us here at b3 jobs, but if you could then you would see a full house! Congratulations to all the winners, especially Jodie Adcock of Thorntons who won our sponsored category of Young Talent of the Year. I was very proud to be able to present this brand new award to such a deserving young lady who we will no doubt be hearing more about in the future – well done Jodie and commiserations to the other finalists.

For those of you that weren’t there then you missed not only a glittering and fun evening at the Park Lane Hilton, but also a great show from Mark Durden-Smith who was hosting the event on behalf of Food Manufacture. Forgive me Mark, but I don’t believe that many held the belief that you were going to be quite so amusing and entertaining, and a tad risqué at times, as you turned out to be…even if you did accuse me of doing a Leo Sayer impression!
I have attended a fair few awards ceremonies in the past in the capacity of the company organising things, but this was my first time as an actual sponsor. I have to say that previous occasions have ranged from OK to downright boring. However, this event has definitely changed my perceptions and I shall be attending next year, if they’ll have me back of course! The food manufacturing industry is a dynamic and vibrant one, which was reflected by last Thursday’s celebrations. So for those that organised the event, then a big pat on the back – but maybe not from Jaws…
