Tim Barford, founder of leading vegan events VegfestUK has been presented with the Best Vegan Advocate award by the pressure group Viva! at its recent awards ceremony in London.
“I’m completely thrilled to receive this award,” says Barford. “It came out of the blue and my jaw hit the floor when my name was read out as the winner of the best vegan advocate in the UK right now. I can’t tell you how much this means to me and my team. But to be honoured in such esteemed company as the likes of Michael Mansfield, Wendy Turner-Webster and Jenny Seagrove, not to mention the whole Viva! team and numerous dedicated supporters for their outstanding work in helping protect animals, and to be recognised for our own individual efforts, is an incredible testament to the amount of hard work that the whole VegfestUK team undertakes. We’re truly grateful for this award.”
VegfestUK now organises three events each year in Brighton, Bristol and London.
Tim Barford is also the founder organic vegan hemp brand Yaoh.
