We are proud to announce that Blakemans are sponsoring the Staff Training & Development category at next year’s National Fish and Chip Awards.

This category is to recognise businesses who are investing in individuals providing career progression, training, and looking at team retention.

James. T. Blakemans, established in 1953, are a family business dedicated to supplying the best quality sausage and meat products to the wholesale, catering, and food service sectors, amongst many others.

The Blakeman family have been proud sponsors of the National Fish & Chip awards for many years, considering it an important celebration of a driven and community minded industry. On the event, Sales Director, James Morris said:

“It is our way of giving back to an incredibly hard working industry that has provided us with loyal custom for decades. We have a lot to thank the lovely people of the fish and chip and fast food industries for. The national dish and those who lovingly prepare and serve it work incredibly hard and have proven time and time again to be the pillar of many communities throughout the UK. It is only fitting that they have this annual celebration and we are honoured to be able to play a small part in this fitting tribute”

Blakemans champion the Training and Development accolade each year due to their belief that a huge part of their success as a business has been down to investing in staff training. James said,

“Training is imperative to all businesses and it is certainly an important element of our own success. Our rigorous staff training ensures our product quality and consistency, always reaches our exacting high standards. Additional to our product focus, our employee development has always been at the forefront of what we do, securing the knowledge needed to continue to develop the next generation of skilled workers and leaders. This award is a fantastic way for us to show our appreciation by rewarding the dedication of establishments who have devoted time, effort and investment into their staff”
