Fresh Hub Group has been named a double finalist in the FPC Fresh Awards 2026, with Explore® shortlisted for Best Marketing Campaign and APG Produce recognised in the Foodservice Supplier of the Year category.
Fresh Hub Group is delighted to announce that it has been named a double finalist in the FPC Fresh Awards 2026, marking the second consecutive year that our businesses have been recognised by one of the fresh produce industry’s most prestigious awards.
This year, we’re proud to have been shortlisted in two categories; Best Marketing Campaign for our Explore® brand and Foodservice Supplier of the Year for APG Produce.
Together, these nominations recognise two very different areas of our business, highlighting the breadth of expertise across the Fresh Hub Group, from building consumer brands that inspire shoppers to delivering trusted sourcing and supply chain solutions for the UK’s foodservice sector.
Building brands that inspire shoppers
The finalist selection for Best Marketing Campaign recognises Explore’s journey from a bold idea into a distinctive consumer brand built around flavour, discovery and premium eating experiences.
Created to encourage shoppers to discover new grape varieties, the campaign has inspired greater consumer engagement through distinctive branding, compelling storytelling and a celebration of flavour.
The FPC Fresh Awards judging panel described the entry as:
“A warm, human story told with real skill and evident pride.”
Delivering excellence behind the scenes
Behind every successful foodservice operation is a reliable supply chain and APG Produce has built its reputation on delivering exactly that.
Working closely with growers and customers alike, the business has become a trusted sourcing and procurement partner for food manufacturers, meal solution providers and foodservice operators across the UK.
The judging panel summed up our Foodservice Supplier of the Year entry with:
“There’s real quality and heart here, and it made for an inspiring read.”
Being recognised across both consumer marketing and foodservice supply reflects the passion, expertise and collaboration shown by our teams every day.
Fresh Hub would like to thank everyone across the Group, our grower partners and our customers for their continued support.
We look forward to celebrating alongside our fellow finalists at the FPC Fresh Awards in September and wish all finalists the very best of luck.
