On Tuesday night, the 2018 National Egg & Poultry Award winners were announced in a prestigious ceremony at London’s Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington.
The National Egg & Poultry Awards were launched this year as an annual event by Poultry Business magazine and Lewis Business Media to recognise excellence and innovation in the egg and poultry sectors. Business leaders from all the major egg and poultry firms and representatives from industry bodies gathered to celebrate the achievements from across the spectrum of the sector – with awards recognising individuals excelling in their roles, to businesses investing and growing.
