Real Bread Campaign supporter Aidan Monks of Lovingly Artisan has won yet another award!

The bakery, co-owned by Catherine Connor, also collected the Bakery Innovation Award for their kombucha sourdough. Another Campaign supporter honoured on the night was Seasons Bakery, bagging the Speciality Bread Product of the Year for their beetroot multiseed sourdough.
The award was presented by Campaign supporter Steve Wells of category sponsor Brook Food Processing Equipment, and entertainer Ashley Roberts, who hosted the evening.
