Gills has received industry recognition for its sausages, with products recognised across both the Food Management Today Industry Awards 2026 and UK Sausage Week 2025.
The awards highlight the quality and consistency of the Gills range, including frozen sausages, free from products and cocktail sausages. For a food manufacturer supplying retailers, wholesalers, caterers and food service customers, this recognition is an important reflection of the care that goes into producing products for the trade.
Highly Commended at the Food Management Today Industry Awards
At the Food Management Today Industry Awards 2026, Gills was awarded Highly Commended in two categories: Best Frozen Product and Best Free From Product.
These categories are particularly relevant to the way many trade customers now buy and use food products. Frozen products are an important part of the food supply chain, helping businesses manage stock, reduce waste and maintain availability. For caterers, wholesalers and food service teams, a reliable frozen product can make planning easier while still delivering the quality customers expect.
Free from products are also increasingly important, with retailers, caterers and food service providers needing to offer greater choice for different dietary requirements. Recognition in this category reflects the work involved in producing products that are practical for trade customers while still meeting expectations around taste, quality and consistency.
UK Sausage Week Finalists
Gills was also recognised during UK Sausage Week 2025, with two products named as finalists.
The Gills Individual Quick Frozen Sausage was a finalist in the Best Frozen Sausage category, while the Gills Cocktail Sausage was a finalist in the Best Cocktail Sausage category.
These finalist positions show the strength and variety of the Gills sausage range. From individual quick frozen sausages for busy trade settings to cocktail sausages suited to buffets, events, hospitality and party food, the products have been recognised in categories that reflect real demand across retail and food service.
Recognition Across the Range
Award recognition is always welcome, but for Gills the most important measure remains the confidence of its customers. Retailers need products that look good and sell well. Wholesalers need reliable options for a wide range of buyers. Caterers and food service teams need sausages that are consistent, practical and suited to busy kitchens.
Gills is proud of this recognition and would like to thank the teams involved in developing, producing and supplying the products. The business remains focused on delivering quality sausages, pork pies and savoury products for retailers, wholesalers, caterers and food service customers across the UK.
