A view from the past For past recipients, the award is both recognition of achievement and a moment of wider validation. Emily Mee from Mee Blueberries, was thrilled to receive a Silver Award. She said: “Winning silver was such an honour for me, especially as the other nominees brought a wealth of experience and were all fantastic examples of innovation. T e recognition continues to motivate me to give my all to the sector and has made me even more excited about what the future might hold.” For many, the impact extends well beyond the evening itself, re-
inforcing the value of consistency and commitment in a demanding and fast-moving environment. Dan Coshan, General Manager, Tap & Kitchen received a Bronze
Award. He said: “It's always an honour to be well thought of by the Northamptonshire Food & Drink Awards, as we have been over our 12-year history. We are committed to our ethos of freshly prepped, locally sourced food served with passion, knowledge and enthu- siasm. We have a wealth of amazing local produce. Our team are everything to us, and any recognition for us as individuals simply underpins us as a collective.” It also serves as a reminder of the central role people play in
shaping the county’s food and drink story, and the contribution made beyond commercial performance alone. Tom McManus, Commercial & Operations Manager at McManus Managed Pub Co Limited said: “It was a great surprise and very humbling to be nominated and considered for the F&B Achiever Award. T e Bronze Award has given me confi dence that the work we're doing to build the business amongst the local business community is the right one. “T e Weetabix Northamptonshire Food & Drink Awards is a
fantastic celebration with so many great local people and businesses recognised and celebrated and I'd encourage everyone to get involved.”
