As a leading supplier of premium pork sausages to caterers throughout the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, we're proud to announce that we have recently received the accolade of Best Pork Sausage Manufacturers in Europe from LUXLife, a glossy publication aimed at people who enjoy the finer things of life, in its annual Food and Drink Awards 2021. Kevin (MD of McWhinney's Irish Pork Sausages), commenting on the LUXLife magazine verdict on the company’s sausages, said: “The award came as a very pleasant surprise. It’s a marvellous recognition and a great endorsement of the premium quality and the ethos of our company. This immensely encouraging award should help to increase awareness of our market leading premium sausages as we continue to grow our business in markets such as Great Britain, Ireland, Europe and beyond. The LUXLife Food & Drink Awards was created by the magazine to “commend those who go above and beyond for their customers and/or consumers to ensure that their appetites are catered for, especially in light of the recent COVID-19 outbreak which has seen many businesses in the food and drink industry face unprecedented challenges over the past few months”. The Food & Drink Awards commend businesses which prove themselves to be innovators in one of the world’s most competitive industries by bringing fresh, exciting ideas forward, and celebrate the outstanding achievements made by those looking to solidify their reputation as industry leaders. All participants were judged purely on merit and only the most deserving are acknowledged. We have always strived to be the best in what we do and its great to have this acknowledged in this way.
