The Hive Awards would not be possible without the support of its sponsors. This year, Food & Drink Business was thrilled to announce The Commonwealth Bank of Australia as the Headline Sponsor for the third year in a row. Heat and Control also returned as the award’s Silver Sponsor, as did Bronze Sponsor Process Partners. Welcome to our new Bronze Sponsors, HMPS and Total Construction, and thanks to APPMA for signing on as our Industry Partner once more.
