apetito has been shortlisted for The Innovation Award for the 2016 Lloyds Bank National Business Awards.
Paul Freeston, chief executive apetito UK says: “We are delighted to have been shortlisted for The Innovation Award. All of us at apetito are passionate about making a real difference to people’s lives and believe that our new softer foods range is the very best of its type across the world, showcasing real innovation.
"We developed our range of meals to help the thousands of people who struggle with dysphagia, difficulty chewing and swallowing, which means eating becomes an emotional issue as well as a medical condition. We believe our range of texture modified meals improves their day to day quality of life, allowing them to dine with dignity while increasing nutritional intake. Most importantly, the range has bought back enjoyment to people’s mealtimes.”
The finalists were chosen from the hundreds of businesses that entered or were nominated across 18 award categories. They will now prepare for live presentations to an expert judging panel who will decide the overall winners.
Described as “the Oscars of great British business” by David Cameron, former Prime Minister, this year’s prestigious award ceremony will take place on Tuesday 15 November, at the Grosvenor House, Park Lane, where the winners will be revealed.
