Regarded as the industry Oscars, The Guild
of Fine Food’s annual Great Taste Awards are the UK’s
largest independent evaluation of fine food and drink. Each
year, almost 4,500 foods are blind tasted by up to three separate
teams of experts before the awards are made. The great taste
logo assures consumers of genuine, proven fine food with excellence
in taste, texture and flavour.
Taste of Britain 2007
 The
Taste of Britain Awards are run by the Daily Telegraph in
association with Sainsbury’s. The aim is to celebrate
the Best of British Food and Drink and to honour and support
those who grow and make it.
“The consensus among the judging panel
was that this year’s entrants were even more impressive
– a remarkable achievement considering what a rotten
hand many farmers have been dealt during 2007. Entrants showed
outstanding enterprise and invention. Just as importantly,
they also remained faithful to great British traditions. It
all goes to prove that the quality and range of food produced
in the UK continues to be truly outstanding. “
“British cuisine has seen a remarkable
renaissance during the past few years – and our local
ingredients play a huge role in making it absolutely delicious.”
We were delighted that our Champ has been
shortlisted from 200 products entered for the Best UK Food
category.
The Belfast Telegraph N.I. Business Awards
in association with BMI - 6th April 2006
It was time to get the welly boots off and
get all sparkly…sparkly…sparkly! Great awards
ceremony, fantastic speeches and wait for it….yes we
won first place in the Excellence in Innovation Category.
Martin and Tracy collected the award to the sound of ‘Monster
Mash’ and cheering from the Mash Direct team!!
On the same night Mash Direct sponsored a ‘charity pub
quiz’, our team there wasn’t as successful –
but you can’t win them all.
John Simpson of the
Economist said
“The main award in this category recognises how a small
business can emerge in a changing market. As the old fades,
or loses its business base, so some of the skills can be redirected
and developed in a new area. Business is already coming from
British and Irish suppliers and Mash Direct has been commended
in the business TV series Dragon’s Den”
