There’s now one more week to enter the 2025 Baking Industry Awards.
Due to the volume of entries still coming in, British Baker has moved the deadline to Tuesday 6 May to ensure everyone has time to submit their entries.
This gives you even more time to tell us why you, your products, or your business are among the very best the baking industry has to offer. Entries are welcome from firms of all sizes, from major manufacturers to craft bakeries and everyone in between, including equipment and ingredient suppliers. If you’re part of this fabulous industry, we want to hear from you!
“The Baking Industry Awards are the epitome of excellence with the experience spanning far beyond the evening itself, although it is definitely a night to remember,” said British Baker editor Amy North.
Taking place at the Royal Lancaster hotel in London, this year’s event will begin with a drinks reception followed by a three-course dinner, before a celebrity presenter helps to reveal the winners of the coveted trophies.
“The entry and judging process offers you the chance to reflect on your achievements so far. We help shine a spotlight on all of our finalists and allow them the chance to bask in this in the run up to the big day. The awards night, meanwhile, presents a plethora of networking opportunities and a chance to showcase yourself and business to a room full of industry decision makers. These awards allow you to celebrate your success and cement yourself as a beacon of excellence,” North added.
Previous winners and finalists have benefitted from lucrative press coverage on British Baker as well as national and local media outlets, increased sales, industry-wide recognition, job offers, and a massive morale boost for staff.
