Potato Council is seeking industry’s nominations for this year's British Potato Industry Award. This prestigious honour is awarded to an individual recognised for their outstanding contribution to the GB potato industry.
Potato Council continues to support the industry’s front-runners in marketing, innovation, research and development, and by presenting this award, it recognises the dedication and entrepreneurial spirit of those high-achievers who have made outstanding contributions to the overall GB potato industry.
David Piccaver, Potato Council’s newly-appointed Chairman, comments "The British potato industry is world-leading due to the tireless work and dedication of talented, committed and motivated individuals who help keep our industry moving forward. This award is to acknowledge the person, from any sector of the industry, who has made this kind of outstanding contribution.
"We now need industry’s help to identify that one outstanding person who’s gone ‘above and beyond’ to benefit our industry and helped move it forward for the benefit of everybody.”
"The award committee, drawn from the different sectors of the GB potato industry, will select the winner from those nominated."
The winner of the award will receive the famous silver rose bowl which will be presented at the Gala Dinner at BP2013 in Harrogate on November 28.
