Alice Cadman, head of strategic projects at UBUK, said: “We’re delighted to be recognised by the IGD for our efforts. Health and nutrition is an area we take extremely seriously and this award is a culmination of three years of hard work and a £6m investment. We’ll continue to improve and upgrade our products to offer our customers products that are in line with the latest consumer requirements and will generate extra sales and profit opportunities for retailers.”

These awards recognise the best-in-class, and demonstrate some of the most exciting new thinking in food and grocery.”
