The British Frozen Food Federation (BFFF) has been named Best Trade Organisation at this year’s Food Management Today Industry Awards, marking a major recognition of our continued leadership, innovation and advocacy for the frozen food sector.

This is the second time BFFF has received the prestigious accolade, having previously won in 2023. The award, which celebrates excellence across the UK’s food manufacturing and retail industries, is voted for by industry peers and reflects our outstanding work in representing the interests of its members and driving the frozen food agenda forward.

The 2025 Food Management Today Industry Awards took place on June 26 in London and brought together leading names from across the sector to honour innovation, service and performance.

Rupert Ashby, chief executive of the BFFF, said: “We are honoured to be named Best Trade Organisation again. This award is a testament to the passion, expertise and commitment of our entire team and membership. Over the past year, we’ve continued to champion the benefits of frozen food, influence policy, and provide real value to our members through events, insight and advocacy.

“Frozen food has a huge amount to offer in terms of offering people nutritious, affordable and convenient meal solutions – with an increasingly impressive diversity of choice and level of quality – as well as helping cut food waste. We’re incredibly proud to be the industry’s flag bearer at a time when it’s so important that we shout about these benefits.”

The award comes at a time of change for the frozen food industry, as supply chain disruption and regulatory change continue to cause challenges, and a potential move away from the long-established temperature standard of -18 degrees could be around the corner. The BFFF has been a key source of insight and support for businesses right across the frozen food supply chain.
