The team at an East Yorkshire poultry business is celebrating after being shortlisted in a national poultry awards scheme.
Middleton on the Wolds based Soanes Poultry has reached the final of the National Egg and Poultry Awards, which celebrate achievement, excellence and best practice in the sector.
Soanes Poultry has reached the final of the Poultry Business of the Year category in the awards which are backed by the British Egg Industry Council (BEIC), the British Poultry Council (BPC) and the National Farmers’ Union (NFU).
Ben Lee, MD of Soanes Poultry is delighted with the news: “I’m delighted and proud that we have reached the final of these prestigious national awards. We are one of the smallest independent poultry businesses in the UK, and it’s a credit to our hard-working teams that we have been shortlisted against such prestigious businesses.”
Soanes Poultry faces competition from St. Ewe Free Range Eggs and Farmlay. The winners will be announced at a ceremony in London later in the year.
Soanes Poultry sells chicken to butchers and independent retailers throughout Yorkshire and to wholesalers, catering butchers and restaurants nationwide.
