The winners of the coveted Natural & Organic Awards Europe 2016 were announced at the Natural & Organic Products Europe trade show, which took place at ExCeL London. The awards, which celebrate the standout brands and products of the year, were hosted by Natural Products News; in association with the Soil Association. The 2016 presenter was leading business woman and BBC Dragons’ Den star Deborah Meaden. “The Natural & Organic Awards are now in their 21st year, and it’s been fantastic to see them grow in stature – to the point, where now, they are the recognized benchmark for excellence in natural and organic,” said Jim Manson, editor of Natural Products News. “But as well as celebrating fantastic businesses and great products, the Awards also provide us with an opportunity to stop for a moment and celebrate the people – and the shared values – that make our natural and organic industry so special, and enduring. Congratulations to all of our fantastic winners and finalists,” he said. The ‘best new product’ awards were voted for by visitors to the show on Sunday 17 April and then judged by a panel of leading industry experts; including Al Overton (head of buying at Planet Organic), Julian Wright (purchasing director at The Health Store), Julie Goodwin (owner of Natural Health) and Jeff Martin (MD of As Nature Intended).
