The Foodservice Packaging Association is an industry-leading body close to our heart. We have proudly been partners with the FPA for many years, and we support each other as we navigate and expand in the food industry. As such, we are very proud to announce another year’s sponsorship for the FPA Awards.
Sponsorship
For the 2026 awards, Cromwell very proudly sponsored the FPA National Distributor Award, which recognises top-tier foodservice packaging distributors for excellence in customer service, innovation, marketing, warehousing, and sustainability. Judged by industry experts and peers, it highlights companies driving industry standards and operational success. This award celebrates distributors who excel in delivering, promoting, and innovating in foodservice packaging – and we are proud to be the supporters of this.
Double Shortlisting Finalists
The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Award recognises member companies demonstrating outstanding commitment to people, society, and sustainability. It honors those making measurable, lasting impacts through community support, employee well-being, and ethical business practices, showcasing industry leadership in responsibility. As such, it gives us great pleasure to announce that we have been announced as finalists for our ‘Keep a Clean Sheet’ initiative.
For many years, we have proudly sponsored several sporting teams within our area – and alongside this sponsorship, we also carry out litter picks with the teams on their ground. Not only does this give something back to the community and help keep the areas where they train and play clean and safe, but it also teaches valuable lessons in waste management, which can be particularly influential for our younger teams. Alongside these litter picks with our sponsored teams, we also carry out other litter picks across the UK, from our local community, where we join forces with other local groups, to further afield, with partnering councils. We also are very proud to support many other local community projects and causes, all of which align towards the CSR award. So we have our fingers crossed for success on the night.
Rising Star!
The CSR award isn’t the only one that Cromwell has been announced as a finalist for – our very own Joshua Chadwick has been shortlisted as one of the FPA’s Rising Stars 2026. The Foodservice Packaging Association (FPA) Rising Star Award honors exceptional young professionals new to the industry who demonstrate early promise, innovation, and significant contributions to their companies. It seeks to inspire future talent, highlighting achievements in sales, marketing, and sustainability.
For us Joshua embodies the qualities of a true rising star: committed to learning, dedicated to service, and driven to make a meaningful impact. His ability to nurture customer relationships, ensure the right products reach the right applications and support compliance him apart as a rising professional within the industry.
We are proud to nominate Joshua for the 2026 FPA Rising Star Award and believe he represents the future of responsible, customer-focused innovation in our sector.
