Powters Scoop Top Prize at UK Sausage Week Awards

Powters picked up the coveted Best Manufacturer/Own Brand Sausage award for its famous Newmarket Pig sausages, beating off strong competition from a host of leading sausage producers.

Alongside this top award, Powters also achieved a ‘Highly Commended’ award in the Innovative category with its spicy Chilli Pig sausages.

The prestigious industry competition, which takes place during the much-publicised UK Sausage Week (28th October – 3rd November), judges butchers and sausage brands across the UK and has become the cornerstone awards for the great British banger.

“We are honoured to be awarded this fantastic award in this year’s UK Sausage Week’s 2019 competition,” says Tristan Powter, Sales Director at Powters. “It’s a large, well-respected industry competition, so are delighted to scoop this prize for our Newmarket Pig sausages. It’s also fantastic to receive recognition for Newmarket Pig and Chilli Pig, showing the two ends of the spectrum from our traditional and most popular sausage to our most innovative.

A great number of producers enter the UK Sausage Week Awards each year, including some of the UK’s largest food companies hoping to pick up one of the coveted awards and gain the raft of additional publicity that is created throughout the week. “This is a fantastic time of year for sausage producers,” continues Tristan. “The week falls between Halloween and Guy Fawkes when sausages are always a popular choice so we are hopeful this award will boost sales and recognition of our range of traditional sausages.”

Powters began making its award-winning sausages in 1881 from its family-run traditional Butchery and Deli in Newmarket, and still trades from the family-run traditional Butchery and Deli in Newmarket, home of the famous Newmarket Sausage. It also produces a range of sausages for retail under the Powters brand which are widely available in Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s and The Co-Op throughout the East Anglia and East Midlands region.
