2010 Personality of the Year
TV presenter and farmer, Jimmy Doherty was named ‘Food Manufacture Personality of the Year' at the 2010 awards.
Voted for by the readers of Food Manufacture, this award is presented to the person that has done the most over the past year to raise the profile of food and drink manufacturing. Jimmy Doherty has proved through his BBC TV programme ‘Jimmy's Food Factory' that food manufacturing is exciting. Single-handed, he has probably done more than anyone else in recent years to raise the profile of the sector; a sector that will need to attract much bright young talent if it is to survive the challenges ahead.
Jimmy is certainly a very worthy champion for the industry and one who - with his popular approach, which combines a scientific and farming background - has the necessary credentials to attract young people.
