Isle of Man Meats "Highly Commended" at Meat Management Industry Awards 2022 - IOM Meats

Two products from Isle of Man Meats have been judged ‘Highly Commended’ at the UK meat sector’s biggest and most prestigious industry awards.

The company entered a choice selection of the finest Manx lamb, beef, and pork products into the Meat Management Industry Awards this year, receiving plaudits in the Best Pork/Pigmeat Product category for their Belly Pork Joint.

The second accolade came in the Best Lamb Product category for their Boned & Rolled Saddle of Lamb.

Making an impact in the same category, the uniquely local and iconic Short Leg of Manx Loaghtan received a coveted finalist’s position.

Kirree Kermode, procurement officer at Isle of Man Meats, said:

‘To receive these commendations from the judges at the Meat Management Industry Awards is just phenomenal.’

‘The awards are all about recognising innovation and excellence across the UK meat sector, and it cannot be understated how much it means for us that our 100% Manx produce is standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the very best the mainland has to offer.’

‘Last year, we were overjoyed to make it onto the finalist shortlist with our Mature Rib of Beef. So, it’s great to achieve in different product categories this year.’

‘Following on from our clutch of six 2022 Great Taste Awards in summer, this is another big win for Island produce.’

‘We are absolutely thrilled. It truly is a testament to the hard work of our Island’s farmers, our staff, and our network of butchers for supplying and presenting these award-winning quality products.’
