Insights Lounge

What?

Distinct from award cycles, the Insights Lounge provides an innovative service, that focuses on addressing core questions and providing constructive feedback around a product, brand, service or initiative, whether pre or in-market. Useful for brands or retailers wishing to quantify insights taken from larger quantitative research projects or simply to validate thoughts or feedback from less targeted qualitative research.

Our FFFA panel experts are some of the most knowledgeable and respected industry professionals and allergy advocates who are not only consumers but many are parents of allergic children.

With our platforms and extensive experience of the category, combined with our judges expertise, we are uniquely placed to address all manner of questions ensuring informed, honest and impartial feedback.

Why?

The ethos of the FFFAs is about recognising and supporting quality and innovation within the category.

Entrants recognise that we are about more than just medals and as such we are frequently asked about the extra support we can provide. This prompted us to consider how we could best service such requests, and our ideas have been extremely well received.

This, combined with the recognition that food & drink product development can be costly and complex within the free from category, as well as our expert panel of judges, has shown there is an opportunity to extend our offering to the free from sector.

We empower free from products, brands and services to flourish.

How?

Adaptability and flexibility is the name of our game. We recognise that every brief will differ hence the service we provide is adaptable.

Every project starts with a conversation allowing us to understand the scope and any budget constraints.

We will respond with our recommendations, discuss and adapt, and engage the best suited panellists.

I just wanted to thank you for your Entrant Feedback 2023 of our product.

It’s a very useful tool and I am still referring to it for ideas. So, many thanks!

Nairn’s

The Free From Food Awards are one of the most credible awards on the circuit, and we tend to enter products every year.  Much of our innovation in recent years has been in the gluten free side of our business so it’s a great opportunity for us to showcase some of our new products.  To free from consumers, displaying the winners logo on pack is a sign of quality and safety, and a win certainly adds value to the conversations our sales team have with their buyer contacts when talking about listings.  The awards themselves are really straightforward to enter and very well organised and they’re attracting some great brands, both big and small, to enter which highlights just how far free from foods have come in recent years.

Bute Island

This year (2018) we won Gold at the Free From Food Awards for our Dairy Free Grated Mild Cheddar Sheese. We have submitted products to these awards over the last ten years, and have been proud to win awards for various products. The process of entering the products is clear and straight  forward. The Bute Island team have attended several of the awards ceremonies and found them to be not only enjoyable, but beneficial for the business. It’s always been a pleasure and an honour to be part of the Free From Awards.

ChocChick

We have been entering the FFF Awards since 2010 and have had some incredible networking opportunities, caught up with industry leaders, begun collaborations and even met with senior buyers who listed our products in stores, so to have won Gold this year for our Cacao Nibbles was the icing on the cake. We are incredibly proud to be part of the Free From family.

The networking opportunities at the FFFA18 party have been really amazing – we’ve met people we have been following on instagram and twitter… We met the founder of Genius which is… AMAZING! We are so excited to put the freefrom logo on our website and all our products.

Our win opened a door to a national distributor in the UK allowing us to get our popcorn in front of all the big UK contract caterers, winning new business with Baxter Storey, Caterlink and many others!  A fantastic award like this really does get you noticed!  We are delighted with our win and will be entering our Hasta La Vista in next years award 100%

 

Emma HeathNairn’s

For us at Nairn’s, winning gold is as much about internal reward as it is about anything external or consumer facing.  For those involved in developing and trialling the products and bringing them to market, winning any of the FFAs further recognition of a job well done and gives a real sense of pride and achievement to the team.

FFFA19 Gold Winner for Caramelised Onion Flatbreads

Sue WarrenStrategic Development Director, Unismack

The FFFA have been at the forefront of driving innovation, awareness and availability of an increasing range in the Free From arena since before it was a trend. The FreeFrom Food awards remain a focus point for the industry and are a great platform for communication and engagement

Julia MarriottDietitian, allergy sufferer and judge at #FFFA

The website gives one place where parents can go and look to see which companies have been shortlisted, who won… it’s a great chance to see the range of products available on the freefrom market that aren’t just in their local supermarkets. Products that have got the FreeFrom Food Awards logo give parents confidence that not only do they taste good, but they have been checked for ingredients and safe manufacturing processes, that sort of thing – it gives them confidence in the products they are choosing.
