FPJ recognises outstanding achievement in the UK fruit and vegetable sector with the second – and expanded – edition of its industry awards
The Festival of Fresh Awards return this month at FPJ’s flagship event in Evesham on Thursday 13 June.
Now in their second year, the awards recognise outstanding achievement in the British fruit and vegetable industry.
Winners are carefully chosen by FPJ’s editorial team for standout performance in the UK market over the past 12 months, and will be named during the event in Evesham.

The six awards categories are:
Retail Supplier of the Year
Non-retail Supplier of the Year
Marketing Magic Award
Sustainable Champion Award
Editor’s Award
Innovation Award (new for 2024)
