2024 Event sponsorship opportunities

Now in its 45th year, the Quality Food Awards are the longest running food awards in the grocery retail and foodservice sectors and have become a well-recognised badge of excellence amongst customers and the food and drink community across the country.

The Quality Food Awards aim to celebrate the very best products in the industry, celebrating great produce from retailers, suppliers and manufacturers. The awards event will encompass various presentations, and the ultimate platform to network with industry peers from across the sector.

The purpose of the event is to recognise and celebrate the best in retail and foodservice food and drink products available in the UK. Many of the winners (bronze, silver, gold) use the logo supplied as a marketing tool and include it on their products.

Event format

For 2024, the UK Quality Food Awards will return to a live event in a brand-new format. We will be holding a networking event where the industry meets – full of quality food and drink from our sponsors and shortlisted entrants. The networking event will offer attendees the opportunity to build their connections and network with professionals from all across the grocery retail and foodservice sectors.

The awards announcements will be held in different presentations in a secondary room, organised by category sector. This allows networking to continue in the main room, so that shortlisted companies, buyers or interested parties can choose which presentations to watch in the awards space.
