The Grocer New Product and Packaging Awards has become the symbol of innovation in the UK FMCG sector, and this glittering event, will be held on Friday 8th November at Wembley Stadium, London, where we will hear the latest and greatest innovations that have hit the shelves in the past 18 months.

The event will recognise every shortlisted entry's excellence, awarding a gold, silver or bronze medal in recognition of efforts to bring excitement and difference to grocery aisles.

Not only that, packaging innovation is also celebrated through 8 additional awards which include Eco-Pack of the Year, Innovative Pack of the Year and Label & Pack Design of the Year. 

Testimonials

"For me as someone who has worked in food for a number of years at other brands and retailers. Winning a Grocer Award was a pinch yourself moment, and I must admit, a career highlight!

The Grocer stands for so much in our industry, as a brand, a media outlet and also with the awards and how much all of the industry holds them in esteem.

From small start up's, to mega multi million pound brands and retailers. Everyone knows of the Grocer and the awards. I wasn't sure about entering at first, but so glad I did. We actively show off our achievement and rightly so! A definite, look mum I won a Grocer Award moment!"

Rob Brice Founder Crave

"I have been developing confectionery products since I was 18. Hence to win such an award is a landmark moment for me!

This project in particular was one of my all-time favourites. Developing a chocolate bar is as much about restraint as it is expression! The shoppers’ needs must never be forgotten, else a path of elitism, self-congratulation or hubris will out, and the bar won’t sell! The shopper wants to have a fantastic time, all other objectives pale to insignificance!

I believe this is why this bar has been awarded such a humbling accolade, and I am overwhelmingly proud and honoured for Monty Bojangles to be recognised thus."

"We were so honoured that Little Dish won at The New Product & Packaging Awards!

To be recognised by The Grocer for quality, innovation and sustainable packaging was not only hugely motivating for the team, but also reinforced our position as market leader in the category."
