Broadcaster Edith Bowman has been announced as the host of the Scotland Food & Drink Excellence Awards 2025.
The celebration of Scotland’s best food and drink producers will take place on Thursday 4 September.
The awards return to Glasgow for the second year in a row, with Bowman, one of the country’s best known and loved TV, radio and podcast personalities, presenting prizes to the outstanding products and people who make up Scotland’s vibrant food and drink industry.
Asda has also renewed its commitment to the awards as headline sponsor again this year, having backed the awards for more than a decade.
The Excellence Awards has expanded its categories this year to include four new awards to celebrate food tourism businesses, innovation, organic businesses, and food and drink campaigns.
Businesses can enter the awards via Scotland Food & Drink’s website until 29 May, with entries open to both members and non-members.
“Coming from Fife, Edith Bowman grew up surrounded by some of the country’s finest food and drink producers, and will be a knowledgeable and entertaining host for this year’s Excellence Awards celebrations,” said Iain Baxter, CEO of Scotland Food & Drink.
Bowman added: “I am so excited to be hosting the Excellence Awards, and as a proud Scot to be celebrating the best of Scotland’s exceptional food and drink scene is an honour.
“Having grown up in the hospitality world, I know only too well the hard work and dedication that goes into providing amazing quality and service. Nobody does it like we do, and I can’t wait to celebrate with everyone.”
