With the inaugural Hive Awards now underway, the question has been asked, why the hive? It was about recognising the complexity of our food and beverage manufacturing sector and the importance of multiple parts working together.

In developing the awards, we wanted the name to reflect the complexity, inter-connectedness, ambition, and tirelessness of Australia’s food and drink manufacturing sector.

We couldn’t go past the concept of bees and their hive, a flawless system that runs 24/7, driven by a dedicated and determined workforce to consistently deliver a product to the highest standard.

So The Hive Awards it was.
