Foodservice
supplier Pasta King is celebrating after winning not one, but two
awards at the coveted Food Manufacture Excellence Awards Wednesday
night. The pasta meals company received the Small Business of the
Year Award after collecting the Chilled Ready Meals and Prepared
Foods award at a prestigious ceremony held at The Marriott hotel in
London.
Organised
by Food Manufacture magazine, the awards recognise the crème
de la crème of the UK's food manufacturing industry. Finalists
from all categories competed for the two overall awards of the night
and Pasta King scooped the Small Business of the Year Award.
Companies
were judged according to their standards in areas such as category
management, marketing and new product development, supply chain,
quality assurance, process innovation and human resource development.
Operations
Director at Pasta King, Paul Haigney, commented: "Our
company's ethos has always been to maintain the highest standards of
product quality and to make Pasta King's meals healthy, tasty and
nutritionally well balanced. Winning the award for the category for
which we were shortlisted was fantastic as it means we are doing our
work well. But receiving Business of the Year Award is an outstanding
achievement and incredibly rewarding for the Pasta King team. This is
an extra incentive to keep investing in our products and in our customers."
2007
has been a particularly successful year for Pasta King. The company
has also been nominated as a finalist for the national Excellence in
Food & Drink Awards and the South Devon Business Excellence
Awards. The outcome will be announced later this month at the two
awards ceremonies in London and Paignton respectively. |
