The FDEA has announced the winners of the FDEA Export Awards 2024 – celebrating the best UK food and drink exporters and service providers, including the biggest award, the FDEA Exporter of the Year.
The UK’s leading food and drink exporters gathered at the beautiful Pullman St Pancras Hotel London for a day of celebration and recognition.
The event highlighted the achievements of the country’s top food and drink exporters.
The ceremony followed a dynamic morning session, which offered valuable insights, networking opportunities, and expert advice from the FDEA team and FDEA Service Providers.
The event’s purpose was to inspire and empower exporters with the knowledge and resources needed to navigate the challenges of international trade and seize emerging global opportunities in the year ahead. Attendees were able to connect, share experiences, and gain actionable strategies to drive growth and success in the competitive global marketplace.
Winners of the biggest accolade of the day, FDEA Exporter of the Year, was Belvoir Farm Drinks, a company that exemplifies the very best of British quality, sustainability, and innovation on the global stage. From Europe to the USA, Australia and beyond, this family-run business has evolved into a global leader in premium, natural drinks, now exporting to 15 markets worldwide. Its impressive ability to tailor products to
local market demands and forge strong distributor partnerships has enabled them to thrive in an increasingly complex global landscape.
With sales up by 30% in value and 20% in volume in 2024, they are a shining example of how values-driven exporting can lead to global success, and we are proud to celebrate their remarkable journey with this award.
