producers, suppliers and manufacturers behind these products to shout out loud about their successes and celebrate their achievements. New products are vital to businesses’ success and the winners


of our awards reflect the high expectations in the market and the fierce competition among operators to differentiate themselves. Take some time to have a look at our winners, including our overall winner in the food and drink category, Paramount 21, for its Fish and Chip Shop Bites, and in equipment, Continental Chef Supplies for the Toffeln Ezi Protekta Safety Shoes. These two products scored the highest in their sectors and demonstrate perfectly the criteria of these awards.
