Mash Direct wins prestigious UK award!

Mash Direct Director Tracy Hamilton attended a gala dinner last week in London where Mash Direct was awarded the Food Manufacture Excellence award for Small Company of the Year. The judges highlighted Mash Direct as “an admirable example of a farm business that had successfully diversified into making all-natural mashed vegetable products for the microwave and oven”. We were also a finalist in the ‘Chilled Ready Meals and Prepared Foods category.

Tracy said: “This award is a marvellous endorsement of the quality of the business and of our commitment to excellence in the manufacture of our extensive range of natural and wholesome products. “The judging panel, made up of industry experts, were looking for all round excellence in food manufacturing over the previous year. It was a very exacting process that required us to show our commitment across a number of business areas including manufacturing process, customer service, sales turnover, market growth and new product development. “Other areas that came in for consideration included health and safety, environmental measures such as waste reduction, and how we develop our people. “They looked closely at our business and clearly decided that we measured up exceptionally well on all these important business areas. The recognition for excellence will be of tremendous benefit as we continue to develop our sales in Great Britain and other neighbouring markets,” she added.
