JL King/Simply Tasty Sponsors the 2025 BBEA Manufacturing Awards: Celebrating Innovation in Food Manufacturing.

JL King & Co/Simply Tasty is excited to announce its sponsorship of the Manufacturing Category at the 2025 Bendigo Business Excellence Awards (BBEA), now in its landmark 30th year. As part of JL King & Co., a long-standing supporter of local businesses since 1913, we are proud to celebrate innovation, excellence, and the incredible manufacturers shaping our region.

Founded in 1994 by the Rotary Club of Bendigo Sandhurst, the BBEA has grown into the largest awards program of its kind in the Greater Bendigo region. Since 2015, Be.Bendigo has taken the lead in delivering this vital recognition program. Now, in its 30th year, the BBEA offers local businesses the opportunity to reflect on their achievements and gain recognition for their contributions to the vibrant Bendigo community.

At Simply Tasty, we are deeply committed to quality manufacturing, sustainability, and community engagement. As we celebrate our own growth and success, we are thrilled to recognize the outstanding manufacturers that continue to drive our region’s economy. The BBEA Manufacturing Awards provide a platform for companies to showcase their innovative practices and achievements, and we can’t wait to see who will take home the top honors this year.

This year’s event will feature newly updated categories, making it more inclusive and relevant to a wider range of industries. The Manufacturing Category will highlight the excellence of businesses dedicated to pushing the boundaries of production, sustainability, and product innovation in the Greater Bendigo area.

Simply Tasty, a subsidiary of JL King & Co., has always been proud of its local roots. Our commitment to using high-quality ingredients and sustainable practices aligns with the values celebrated by the BBEA. Last year, JL King & Co. made history by becoming the first-ever business to win three awards at the event, a moment we will always cherish.
