Sarah Evans, the Commercial Director of Discovery, a pioneering, people-led business transformation consultancy based in Worcestershire, has been named a finalist for the ‘Training and Development’ prize at the prestigious “Women in Meat Industry Awards 2024”.
Organised by the publishers of Meat Management Magazine, the Women in Meat Industry Awards are designed to recognise the vital contributions that women make to the meat sector. Driven by reader nominations and public votes, the awards are judged by an expert panel to determine the winner in each category.
An industry professional with over 25 years of experience in helping businesses to recruit, develop, and retain the right people for their workforces, Sarah is renowned for having provided expert guidance and support to hundreds of companies throughout this time.
Sarah was nominated by her client, Pilgrim’s Europe, the largest producer of quality meats and chilled and frozen ready meals for major UK & Ireland supermarkets. This was in recognition of her excellent work in designing, supporting, and delivering their highly regarded Early Career programme,
In addition to her work with Pilgrim’s Europe, Sarah has helped countless other employers in the UK and international meat industry, as well as within its wider supply chain, to recruit and train people, including ABP, Avara Foods, Samworth Brothers, and Sealed Air.
Speaking about her nomination and subsequent shortlisting, Sarah said: ‘I am chuffed to have been named among the finalists at this year’s Women in Meat Industry Awards, especially to be alongside the graduate talent I helped to secure roles in the Meat Industry. It has been rewarding to see the difference they have made to their businesses and to see female role models leading the way.
‘I would like to thank my clients at Pilgrim’s Europe for this nomination, which comes as a huge validation of the work that I’ve done to build the organisation’s Early CareerProgramme. With women still so underrepresented in the meat industry, awards such as this are vital for casting a spotlight on the important role that women play in the sector.’
The winners of the Women in Meat Industry Awards 2024 are set to be announced at a ceremony in London hosted by tennis star and TV broadcaster Annabel Croft on Friday 29th November. To learn more about the event, visit: https://womeninmeatawards.com/.
