SuperMeat and Fish 2009

- Published: 19 March, 2009

Table bookings are now open for this year's glittering SuperMeat & Fish Awards ceremony, which will take place at the Hilton Hotel, Park Lane in London on 2 July 2009.

SuperMeat & Fish, which celebrates the best in supermarket retailing of meat and fish, is now in its 10th year and is recognised as the premier awards event for the industry. Both stores and products are judged for the competition, with one retailer being declared the overall SuperMeat Retailer of the Year.

The awards will see the return of our popular Head Office Initiative of the Year and Meat Personality of the Year. New categories have also been introduced, including Best Sustainable Product and Best Value Product.

Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, The Co-operative and Marks & Spencer are taking part in this year's event, and with an impressive field of entries, the competition is set to be as exciting as ever.

Ed Bedington, editor of MTJ, said: "The competition for a SuperMeat award is always intense, and I expect this year will be no different. The products entered are all of a very high standard and it's a tough job for the judges to pick out the winners from such a strong field."

To book a table for the event, contact Elizabeth Ellis on 01293 846593, or email her on elizabeth.ellis@william-reed.co.uk.
