FWD Gold Medal Awards 2025 open for entries

The FWD Gold Medal Awards 2025, which will recognise the exceptional people, brands and businesses driving success across the wholesale sector, are open for entries.

Open to all FWD wholesaler and supplier members, the Gold Medals honour excellence across a wide range of categories – from Best New Retail Product and Sustainable Supplier to Best Foodservice Wholesaler and individual awards.

In previous years, awards for suppliers have been nominated and voted on exclusively by the FWD’s wholesale members, but this year supplier members will be able to nominate their own brands and people for recognition, with winners selected by a panel of industry professionals.

James Bielby, chief executive of FWD, commented: “We believe this inclusive approach will provide a broader view of brand excellence across our industry. We encourage you to nominate your company, brands and colleagues across the various award categories.”

Nominations are open until 12 September 2025, and the awards dinner will take place at Old Billingsgate, London, on 27 November.
