They’ve long been the end-of-year highlight and, in a year that has brought out the best from so many within our industry, it is all the more important that the PAPA Industry Awards 2020 ensure everyone’s efforts are applauded. It’s been a strange year for the pizza, pasta and Italian food industry, with some businesses going flat out and others mothballed, and, like everything else, the PAPA Awards are having to adapt to the Covid-19 world we now live in. This year’s awards have put more emphasis into recognising those who have made big efforts to keep something going and support the community despite the lockdown – from delivering pizzas to the vulnerable to supporting our NHS. We would also like to pay particular tribute to all our sponsors who, despite themselves having a hard time, are continuing to support these awards. We hope you will reward their support for our industry by giving them your support in the coming months and years.

C gra lati s to

the PAPA Magazine Team: Clare Benfi eld, Andrew Emery & Jayson Berry

on reaching your 200th issue.

Fantasti c achievement and invaluable service to the members and industry over the years.

All the very best from all at Stateside Foods
