Island Abbey Foods Ltd.™ announced today that company CEO John Rowe has been honoured with the 2013 Food Industry Leadership Award by Food In Canada Magazine.
- (1888PressRelease) February 22, 2013 - Charlottetown, PE, Canada - Island Abbey Foods Ltd, a PEI based natural health product and specialty food producer, has announced today that John Rowe, the creator of the Honibe - Pure Honey Joy® line of pure dried honey products, has been awarded the 2013 Food Industry Leadership Award by Food In Canada Magazine.
The Food Industry Leadership Award by Food In Canada Magazine recognizes companies that embody the spirit of leadership, innovation and leadership success. The Food Industry Leadership Award is the successor of the Food In Canada's Processor of The Year Award. These awards reflect the enormous wealth and diversity of the Canadian Food and Beverage industry while showcasing the commitment to socially and environmentally responsible business practices that these candidates possess.
"I am thrilled to be honoured with this prestigious award by Food In Canada Magazine, a publication boasting 72 years of leadership in the Canadian food sector," stated John Rowe, President of Island Abbey Foods Ltd. "Achieving recognition as a Canadian industry leader is the highest compliment our company and I could be given. This is a testament to our team's hard work over the past 5 years while striving to spread awareness of our Honibe innovations and the health benefits of honey."
The Honibe - Pure Honey Joy brand has seen a great deal of nationwide support since their first product, the Honey Drop®, was introduced in 2008, including multiple product awards from across Canada. Honibe's recognition started to grow internationally when it won the most prestigious food award in the world at SIAL Paris 2010, the Global SIAL d'Or (Gold Medal), which recognized the Honibe Honey Drop as "The Best New Food Product in the World". Using the same proprietary technology as the award winning Honey Drop, the Honibe product line has since expanded to include Honey Delights® candies and suckers / lollipops, Honey Sprinkles™ for cooking and baking, and Honey Lozenges™ for coughs and colds. Honibe was subsequently honoured with the "Canada Brand Business Award" at SIAL Toronto in 2011. Honibe was also featured on one of Canada's most popular television shows, CBC's Dragons' Den, where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to savvy business investors. The Dragons smelled money in the honey pot as Honibe was offered one of the largest deals in the shows history. In August 2012, the Canadian Space Agency selected the Honibe Honey Drop as one of its 'Snacks For Space' and the Honey Drop went to the International Space Station with Canadian Commander Chris Hadfield's December 2012 mission. Most recently, Island Abbey Foods was named one of Progress Magazines Fastest Growing Companies in 2012.
