The British Potato Council (BPC) is inviting nominations for this year’s British Potato Industry Award.

An individual will be singled out for their outstanding contribution to the UK potato industry.

BPC chairman David walker said: “This award is an opportunity for our industry to recognise those people who have made a significant contribution to its development. The calibre of previous winners demonstrates the honour associated with this award. I hope this year again we generate nominations to give the award committee a tough choice,”

An award committee, which is made up of representatives from the different sectors of the UK potato industry, will select the winner.

A sterling silver rose bowl will be presented to the winner later in the year.
