BRITISH SANDWICH INDUSTRY AWARD WINNERS ANNOUNCED
13th May 2010
With commercial sandwich sales continuing to show a clean pair of heels to recessionary Britain, the industry was justifiably in good humour at the Sammies, the British Sandwich Industry Awards, when they took place at the new Grange St Paul’s Hotel in London on Thursday evening (May 13).
While some of the industry’s biggest names were to be seen picking up awards this year, it was also a night for some of the smaller businesses that form an important part of this £6 billion industry.
While sandwich multiple retailer of the year was Marks & Spencer, who also took the new sandwich award, the workplace award was taken by a young business in The Phat Pasty Company from Milton Keynes while the relatively small sandwich manufacture Raynor Foods from Essex swept aside some of its multi-million rivals to become sandwich manufacturer of the year.
Also among the smaller businesses to win were Mortons from Oxford (Independent Sandwich Bar of the Year) and Rhode Island Coffee from Stockport (Coffee Bar Sandwich Retailer), who also recently won The Cafe Society award for best coffee bar, while another Essex business Taste UK won the Sandwich Marketing Award for their Munchy Monday Campaign alongside Brambles Foods (part of the Food Partners Group) from Middlesborough who took the same award for a clever Wallace & Grommit Children’s Foundation promotion.
“These awards are not only an opportunity for the industry to recognise the hard work that some people are doing to build this industry,” says BSA Director Jim Winship, “they also provide an example for others that will hopefully help our industry to continue to develop positively. A lot of hard work has been done by some of these businesses and it is good for us to recognise this.”
