British Baker is pleased to announce the finalists for the Baking Industry Awards 2020.
Our panel of expert judges faced some tough decisions this year, whittling down hundreds of entries to the 36 finalists listed below.
The winning products, people and businesses will be announced at an online awards ceremony on Wednesday 20 January at 18:30.
“Firstly, I’d like to congratulate all of our finalists,” said British Baker editor Amy North. “I’d also like to say a massive thank you to everyone who took the time to enter the awards. The judging process was harder than ever and the stories we uncovered were truly inspiring.”
There’s also still time to nominate your bakery hero for Outstanding Contribution to the Baking Industry, sponsored by Délifrance. This person will have gone above and beyond the boundaries of their paid salary to help, encourage and support others within the industry throughout their career.
