Spotlighted as the industry's leading voice last year, the Northern Ireland Food To Go Association was shortlisted for Best Association of the Year at The Association and Institutes Awards 2025, acknowledged for its strategic focus on uniting, safeguarding, and advancing the food-to-go sector across Northern Ireland. The association's comprehensive approach to sector representation addressed critical challenges facing independent operators, franchise networks, and suppliers navigating regulatory compliance, evolving consumer preferences, and economic pressures that disproportionately affect hospitality and quick-service businesses operating in competitive high-street environments.
