The awards offer entrants the opportunity to promote their business to industry experts, raise their profile and network with retailers, producers and industry experts.

Andreas Georghiou, owner of Andreas of Chelsea Green won Greengrocer of the Year 2019, and says of the awards: “The awards themselves are fantastic in respect of each individual store to put their case across and for their customers to be involved and vote for them. So it’s a kind of joint award with customers and entrants. It’s a true award and one of the best in the industry.”

The entry process will close on 20th September 2019, with the winners being announced live at Farm Shop & Deli Show at the NEC Birmingham on 30th March 2020.
