The Awards organiser, William Reed, has been helping businesses succeed since the launch of The Grocer in 1862 and the drive to inform and serve their sectors flows through everything they do today. The Farm Shop & Deli Awards are no exception and, for the past six years, they have played an important role in celebrating, and supporting, the speciality food retail market by utilising their reputation and reach in the sector.

“Just about everyone is hearing about them – loud and clear” “I really do think everyone who took part should look back – with huge, HUGE satisfaction – over the last ten/twenty years at how we have all transformed food retail in this country. There have always been wonderful stories to tell, but now just about everyone is hearing about them – loud and clear, thanks to those such as the knowledgeable and dedicated judges on the team at the Farm Shop & Deli Awards.” Callum and Debbie Edge, Edge & Son, 2018 Retailer of the Year “I know these awards are highly respected within the industry.” “At Keelham we have won over 50 awards and you always know how an awards scheme is recognised in the industry by the comments you receive from your suppliers when you win. We had so many suppliers congratulate us when we won Farm Shop & Deli Awards Retailer of the Year in 2017, which is how I know these awards are highly respected within the industry.” Victoria Robertshaw, Keelham Farm Shop, 2017 Retailer of the Year
