Food and Drink iNet Innovation Award Winners 2009

At the Food and Drink iNet Innovation Awards 2009, held in Leicester on Tuesday 17th November, the Food Processing Faraday Award for Most Innovative Large Food and Drink Manufacturer went to Marshalls (part of the Produce World Group), Butterwick, Boston,  for the development of bellaverde  sweet stem broccoli, that was launched in July 2009, and created in conjunction with Seminis.



Judges said: "Lots of determination and effort has been shown to create a new breed of broccoli to be grown in the UK, rather than import one."


Catriona Mowbray said: "We are delighted to receive this award and proud that Marshalls have been recognised for their approach to innovation."


A number of other awards were also presented during the evening, which attracted 150 representatives from across the East Midlands food and drink sector and was designed to celebrate the uptake and implementation of innovation in the industry in the region.

 

Peter Maycock, Project Director for the Food and Drink iNet, said: "The Food and Drink iNet Innovation Awards have once again shown the high standard of research and enterprise that is being undertaken in the food and drink sector in the East Midlands. We have been delighted to see the exciting range of innovation, and congratulate all the winners."

David Wallace, Innovation Director at East Midlands Development Agency (emda), said: "This year we have seen innovation in areas as diverse as the development of antimicrobial agents to kill micro-organisms in bottles, to more environmentally-friendly refrigeration systems - and even the creation of a new form of broccoli.
