"As Supper Club is only a year old, we are a relatively unknown brand and felt that as well as exhibiting at the show, the awards would be a great way to maximise the opportunity of getting our brand and products seen by as many people as possible at the event itself but also giving us something that we could take away and shout about afterwards."
"The Farm Shop & Deli Product Awards was a great opportunity for us at Ragley Estate Meats to show what we produce each week for our customers, to get gold was really the icing on the cake, and something we as a team are very proud of."
"The process for entering seemed very straightforward, so it was a logical step to enter. We did so, hoping that it would help enhance our show experience if we were successful. We had visitors who came to see us at our stand at the Farm Shop & Deli Show after having seen our products in the awards display area."
"We feel we are doing things right, and the award was a great reminder that people are enjoying what we are doing. We try to create products where everything is as brilliant as we can get it, and we take great pride in that."
“The accreditation we receive also benefits our customers as they can promote the fact that they stock high-quality, award-winning products to their shoppers.”
"As with any new product and a new business, to win such an accolade is incredibly reaffirming, and shows we are making something that has appeal to the consumer."
“We are really careful about what competitions we enter. Some awards hold real gravitas, and the Farm Shop & Deli Show Product Awards were important for us to connect with the types of retail businesses we support.”
“Receiving an award from The Farm Shop & Deli is great recognition for Glenilen Farm. As a small Irish business, we believe in keeping things as natural as possible when it comes to our Glenilen Farm produce, so it’s brilliant to see people appreciate that.”
“We wear our ‘Handmade in Hampshire' badge with pride. The Farm Shop & Deli Product Awards allows us to showcase what can be achieved with that handcrafted approach and winning an award is a wonderful payoff for all the hard work. We're delighted to have that industry recognition."
