Vertex Law

Vertex Law has been signed up as a sponsor of one of the country’s leading food awards.

The Kings Hill corporate and commercial lawyers have joined other food sector specialists in backing the Food Manufacturing Excellence Awards 2010.

The awards, now in their 10th year, are dedicated to recognising and rewarding the very best food and drink manufacturing companies.

Sarah Whibley, Head of the Food Team at Vertex Law, which is sponsoring the Small Company of the Year Category, said: “We are delighted to have been approached to become a sponsor of the Food Manufacturing Excellence Awards and are pleased to be taking part.

“There is an increasing emphasis on good practice, management and process in the food manufacturing sector, and as a company that is constantly evolving to meet the needs of our clients, these are disciplines that we very much value.

“Kent has a strong food and drink sector and I would really encourage local companies to enter the awards and fly the flag both for themselves and the county.”

Entry to the awards is free and the closing date is 30 July. The winners will be announced at a gala dinner at The Savoy, London on 2 November. For further information, visit www.foodmanawards.co.uk
