26/06/2009 Lancashire based cheese maker, Dewlay, has picked up the 2009 Food Northwest Award for Environmental Sustainability.
Organised by Food Northwest, the organisation set up by the Northwest Regional Development Agency (NWDA) to lead the food and drink industry, the annual awards are in their fourth year.
The awards recognise the innovation and achievements of businesses across Cheshire, Cumbria, Lancashire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester. They acknowledge companies from all areas of the industry, including food retail and service, wholesale, catering, distribution, food processing and agriculture, with winners in eleven categories.
Ian Coggin, sales director of Dewlay said: “It is an honour to win this prestigious industry award, which recognises the commitment of the whole team. We understand the importance of sustainability and our achievements will see Dewlay at the forefront of green energy production. Our staff and customers have been hugely supportive and we are delighted to be acknowledged in this way. “
Dewlay, which supplies cheeses to a wide range of outlets including Booths, Waitrose and Sainsbury’s, is set to generate electricity from a single wind turbine commencing 2010, having received planning consent earlier this year.
