The finalists are out and I'm not going to lie....choosing the winners was the toughest job by far!
A huge thank you to the wonderful judges that supported in these big decisions. Adam Thacker Steve Pearce Joseph Cordy Holly Stibbon Edward Miles Julie Schofield
After reading through some truly brilliant entries, I'm delighted to share the finalists for this year's Tastebuds Collective Collaboration Awards.
What I love about these awards is that they're not about who shouted loudest or spent the most money. They're about people and organisations coming together, sharing ideas, solving problems and creating things that simply wouldn't have happened alone.
And this year's finalists have really raised the bar (and in some cases, brewed it, engineered it, researched it, or covered it in chocolate).
A huge congratulations to all our finalists:
