Sponsors 2018
Without the generous support of our sponsors, the Deliciouslyorkshire Taste Awards simply wouldn’t be able to go ahead.
Sponsoring a category is a great way to raise your company profile within the Yorkshire Food and Drink scene whilst reaching out to deliciouslyorkshire’s members
Sponsoring a category can not only provide a huge boost for your business but attending the Taste Awards Ceremony is a fantastic evening out and previous sponsors have found being involved with the awards is fantastic fun!
