UK: Natural and Organic Awards 2015 winners announced

The winners of the Natural and Organic Awards 2015 were announced at ExCeL London, after the close of business of the first day of the Natural & Organic Products Europe trade show. Hosted by Natural Products News, in association with the Soil Association, the annual awards brought together over 400 industry professionals to recognise and celebrate the standout brands and products of the year.

Broadcaster, comedian and MasterChef finalist Hardeep Singh Kohli introduced the awards after declaring his own "20 years involvement in the organic movement" - and describing the all-organic dinner as "by the far the best and most sustainable food I've ever had at an awards ceremony". He congratulated all the winners "for doing the fantastically important job of protecting the planet and its rich natural resources for our children and grandchildren".
