British Baker is proud to announce that the Baking Industry Awards 2013 are now open for entries.

The awards, now in their 26th year, will take place on Wednesday 11 September at the Park Lane Hilton, in London, and promise to be the ultimate celebration of the best in the UK baking industry.

This year’s theme is Oriental and, as always, there will be a wealth of entertainment on the night, including a special celebrity host, to be announced in due course.

Eleven categories are available, suitable for all businesses in the baking industry, no matter how large or small. This year we also welcome two new sponsors: Tesco, sponsoring Bakery Supplier of the Year; and Stevens Group, sponsoring The Rising Star Award.

Martyn Leek, editor, British Baker, said: “BIA is designed to recognise the talents and achievements of all those who work in the UK baking industry, and this year’s event looks set to be as fantastic as ever.”
