The directors of the new TOTW CIC (the new Taste of the West) are excited to announce that they have employed Lily Lawton as Awards Programme Manager. Lily brings a wealth of experience and passion to her role having previously led the Awards Programme for Taste of the West.

Charles Baughan, spokesman for TOTW CIC commented: “We are delighted to have Lily on board. She brings with her extensive knowledge and experience and will be re-instating the 2025 Taste of the West Awards with all our support, so that existing entrants will see their products judged and new entrants will be able to participate in this year’s scheme.”

“I’m delighted to be back doing what I love, and am so grateful to all who’ve supported us so far in our journey to rebuild Taste of the West with renewed purpose, transparency and community spirit . I can’t wait to celebrate all of you, the wonderful South West food and drink community, once again.” added Lily.
