The winners of the coveted Natural and Organic Awards, which were hosted in association with the Soil Association and Natural Products magazine, were announced at London Olympia’s Pillar Hall after the close of business on the first day of Natural & Organic Products Europe.
This year, the two-part format comprised an early evening awards presentation, sponsored by Nordic Naturals, Solgar, and Kinetic Natural Products Distributor, followed by a celebration party at the fabulous Kensington Roof Gardens.
“Despite the economic difficulties we have experienced over the past year, we have seen more innovation and new product development in the natural and organic products industry than I can remember, which makes the achievements of this year’s winners even more impressive,” says Carsten Holm, MD of show organiser’s Diversified Communications. “Whilst we continue to have many challenges ahead, the entrepreneurial spirit and passion that has been so evident this year, will ensure that our industry continues to thrive in the years to come.”
