What our customers say...

We are incredibly proud to have been recognised as winners in three categories at this year’s Food Manufacture awards, especially taking home the coveted ‘Company of the Year’ title. This has only been achieved through the incredible efforts of our colleagues, and I would like to thank them for their support and commitment which has enabled us to continue to deliver outstanding service to our customers.

I’m really proud that together, all our hard work has been recognised by this award, which was delivered through focusing on developing people, who are our major asset.

Paul Thomas Head of Operations Muller

To win two awards at such a high-profile industry event was amazing. There were some top companies there as finalists, so we were proud just to be taking part; really gratifying, and testament to all the hard work put in by the whole Simply Doughnuts team.

Shiraz Master Managing director Simply Doughnuts

For any business, large or small, considering entering, we encourage you to take that leap. The awards celebrate innovation across the board, and every company has a story worth telling. Whether you’re a small business making a big impact or an industry giant setting new standards, your achievements deserve to be recognised.
