Announcing the finalists, Ryan Baker, sales manager at Middleton Foods, said: “We launched The Peter Hill Award last year in memory of our great friend and CEO, Peter Hill. Following its tremendous success, we decided to bring it back – even bigger than before, with a phenomenal ‘money-can’t buy’ set of prizes worth over £15,000! I’d like to thank everyone who has been involved with the award – from the judges to those who took the time to enter. Once again, we have received a fantastic number of entries, and I’m thrilled to announce this year’s six finalists.”
The winner and runners-up of The Peter Hill Award 2024 will be announced by the end of November, following the next stage in judging – a personal visit from Nikki Williams, field sales manager, KFE.
The winner will receive a prize package worth over £15,000 which includes £1,000 worth of Middleton Foods stock; design of their own, ‘own label’ bespoke batter mix, two places at the KFE School of Frying Excellence, two places on the NFFF Fish Frying course, plus much more.
