27 shortlisted for Bord Bia 2015 Food & Drink Awards

Excellence in the Irish food and drink industry will be represented by 27 companies shortlisted for awards, and Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney will make presentations to the overall winners in eight categories — branding, consumer insight, sustainability, digital marketing, entrepreneurship, export development, innovation and success at home.

The awards ceremony takes place in conjunction with Bord Bia’s Annual Brand Forum dinner.

The Entrepreneurial Award recognises commitment, leadership and self-belief, either to create a new and successful business, or to radically improve, or turn around the performance of an existing one. The shortlist is Teeling Whiskey, The Penny Loaf Company, and Gallagher’s Bakery (Pure Bred Gluten Free Range).
