sofht Awards 2025 Winners

It's that time of year where you can be involved and nominate those people or companies who you feel deserve to be recognised at the SOFHT Awards 2025.

The SOFHT Awards celebrate excellence within the food industry and its associated industries. Do you know about a new product(s), special person or company that deserves recognition? The awards will be judged by the panel of experienced food industry professionals from the Society’s membership.

You are invited to submit one or more nominations for either your own product, personnel, company or to nominate others.
