nd that's a wrap!

The 2023 Inspire+ New Zealand Artisan Awards are over for another year, and we are delighted to announce the award winners.

The judges have had a challenging time assessing entries over the past few weeks, for at the heart of the judging panel lies a steadfast commitment to excellence.

I am delighted to share the winners with you and take this time to thank my fellow judges, Danielle Lendich, Mike Shatura, Simon Gault, Ben Bayly, and Caitlan Mitchell, for what was an outstanding effort condensed into a concise timeframe.

With well over 800 entries this year, once again, assessing the entries took a lot of time.

The judges have given their time to provide professional and knowledgeable assessments of each product. They form the backbone of a hardworking professional team that brings you this no-fee Award programme. We also thank our consumer focus group; it is an added layer to the Awards that

Tania Walters Kieran Mitchell Sarah Mitchell Caitlan Mitchell Felicity-Anne Flack, Caroline Boe, Findlay Murray Annabel Maasdam, Sam Francks Raymund Sarmiento Raymund Santos

we have this group assisting with the programme.

Our holistic approach to evaluating entries recognises excellence in taste, quality, and presentation while acknowledging the everchanging landscape of consumer expectations and sustainable practices. Whether the product is aimed at retail, foodservice or catering, the entry must fulfil its intended function and meet its target market's needs and expectations. In today's challenging economic climate, commercial success is not a given; with each new product launch comes a high level of personal and financial risk. The Inspire+ New Zealand Artisan Awards, with its dedicated and knowledgeable judging panel and professional team, continues to set the benchmark for recognising outstanding products while rewarding continued growth and development.

We extend our congratulations to the award winners, and we thank all entrants for their enthusiasm and drive in pursuit of product excellence and innovation. n

The Judging Panel T

he judging panel upholds the utmost standards of excellence, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of each entry.

Each submission undergoes thorough assessment based on a wide range of criteria, encompassing fit for purpose, visual appearance, mouthfeel, consumer/ market appeal, packaging and design, aroma, flavour, consistency, and quality but also some additional vital aspects.

One crucial factor that the judging panel considers is the product's relevance and suitability for its intended purpose. Whether a fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) item or a food service product, the entry must fulfil its intended function and meet its target audience's needs and expectations.

This criterion ensures that the products excel in taste and quality and demonstrate practicality and usability. The judging criteria cover commercial success or prospect of commercial success, innovation, and how successfully the product satisfies a market need. Products are scored using a point system heavily weighted on commercial viability.

Furthermore, sustainability plays a pivotal role in the evaluation process. As retailers and consumers increasingly prioritise eco-friendly practices, the judges consider the products' environmental impact. Factors such as responsible sourcing of ingredients, packaging materials, waste reduction efforts, and general sustainability practices are considered. Products that align with these values and contribute to a more sustainable future are highly regarded.

Additionally, the judges assess the level of innovation and uniqueness demonstrated by the entries. They look for products that push the boundaries of creativity, introducing novel concepts, ingredients, or flavour combinations that captivate consumers and differentiate themselves in the market.

Innovation, coupled with exceptional execution, is a key aspect that sets winning products apart from the competition.

Another significant aspect is the product's ability to meet consumer preferences and address evolving market trends. The judging panel evaluates how well the entry aligns with current consumer demands, considering dietary preferences, cultural considerations, health and wellness trends, and emerging flavour profiles.

Products anticipating and catering to these evolving preferences have a greater chance of resonating with consumers and achieving market success.

The judging panel ensures a comprehensive assessment of the entries by expanding the evaluation criteria to include factors such as fit for purpose, innovation, market relevance, and alignment with consumer preferences. This holistic approach recognises excellence in taste, quality, and presentation and acknowledges the ever-changing landscape of consumer expectations and sustainable practices.

The New Zealand Artisan Awards, with its dedicated and knowledgeable judging panel, continues to set the benchmark for recognising outstanding products that delight consumers while aligning with their values and aspirations.

ADDITIONAL EXPERTISE We prioritise fairness and accuracy in evaluating products made by New Zealand artisans. To achieve this, the judging panel engage, where necessary, with external professionals if required and, of course, values the input from the consumer focus group. These additional contributions to the judging process bring invaluable insights to product evaluations, ensuring a comprehensive assessment of the entries.

SIMON GAULT

CHEF & FOUNDER OF GAULT'S DELI

Simon Gault has been a familiar face to New Zealanders throughout his long and illustrious career on the local food scene.

He has established himself as one of New Zealand’s finest chefs and is internationally recognised for his outstanding culinary accomplishments in Europe and the United Kingdom.

After opening his first restaurant at the age of 22, Simon has been the name behind some of Auckland’s finest and most well-known restaurant brands. He was the former executive chef of the Nourish Group and is best known for his work in restaurants such as Bell House, Gaults on Quay, Jervois Steakhouse, Euro Bar and Restaurant and Giraffe.

He was inducted into the New Zealand Restaurant Association Hall of Fame, reflecting his lifetime achievements and outstanding career.

MIKE SHATURA AHI EXECUTIVE CHEF

Executive Chef at Ahi, Mikhail (Mike) Shatura, shared his journey to becoming a chef, along with Ahi’s special garden and the creative freedoms he expresses through cuisine and creating.

Ahi has had a stellar year winning countless awards and recognition for their efforts. They were the winner of Best Metropolitan Restaurant 2021/2022 and Best Drinks List 2021/2022, and on top of all this, they also were awarded 2 Chefs Hats from Good Food Guide. An outstanding set of achievements despite the year they all had with Covid hardships, setbacks and major staff shortages.

Mike was born and raised in Vladivostok, Russia. He was always interested in cooking, but after earning a degree from Auckland University, he worked for two weeks in an office space. However, he found that the office environment didn’t quite suit him or his personality.

“So, I decided to pursue a career in cooking. I’ve never looked back since,” he said.

The ability to pursue creative freedom and the power of putting a smile on people’s faces through food is Mike’s favourite part of being a chef. Looking to the future, he

sees challenges for the hospitality industry with a lack of young chefs coming into the industry.

“I’m looking for “hungry”, inspired and motivated young talent to share the knowledge with,” he revealed.

He encourages young people who are interested in hospitality and tells them the journey is worth it.

“Be prepared to work hard, self-educate along the way, research and always push yourself to be better. This is the way forward.”

Harvesting natural and organic produce has long been a personal passion for Bayly, which has led to him starting the Ahi Organic Gardens in South Auckland, which produces ingredients used at all of Ben’s Auckland-based restaurants.

Ben has also had a successful career in television and will be best known to audiences for his work as a judge on My Kitchen Rules New Zealand and Masterchef New Zealand. Ben was also recently featured on the local series “The Restaurant That Makes Mistakes”, which followed eight people living with dementia who took on roles at a restaurant to improve their confidence.

design BEYOND ARTISAN: GROWING START-UPS INTO POWER BRANDS THROUGH DESIGN New Zealand has never lacked innovative producers and entrepreneurs, said Jenny McMillan, business development director at Brother Design.

“I

Updating everything while losing nothing. From artisan beginnings to market leadership.

t’s great to see so many exciting artisanal players awarded in this issue,” said McMillan.

McMillan continued that what the country’s not quite so good at, however, is seeing those artisanal producers through to enjoying wider success, which is a shame, not just for the brand owners but the public.

“Who wouldn’t want to enjoy the best of New Zealand’s artisanal produce?”

At Brother Design, we have more experience than most at taking small, artisanal brands and giving them the design strength they need to thrive. But it’s not easy, not least because resources are often tight.

One of Brother Design’s heroes, Ernest Rutherford, talked about this, stating that if businesses haven’t got the money, then they’re going to have to think. As a design business, Brother Design has to be flexible and smart when dealing with brands of different scales, as it works with some of New Zealand’s biggest brand owners and some of the smallest.

Essential to both is understanding the market environment, and Brother Design has a proprietary process that helps it do this efficiently and effectively. It’s particularly focussed on the ‘sharp end’, where purchase decisions count: in-store and on the shelf.

By informing the design strategy this way, amazing results can be achieved.

“Take Delmaine as an example. We tend to think of it as an established brand, but

8 I supermarketnews.co.nz

its roots have always been artisanal: high quality and authentic.”

Redesigning Delmaine’s range posed unique challenges because, while it needed updating, there were strong cues that were unique to the brand and needed to be retained. It takes a skilled designer’s eye to spot how to lift or update a design dramatically while doing this.

While nothing changed in terms of product, when the new designs for Delmaine hit supermarket shelves, the improvement in sales was dramatic and immediate. ROI was off the charts, and this was for a brand that was already doing very well.

For many artisanal producers, sustainability is essential. For some of Brother Design’s clients, like Trade Aid or Waitoa Chicken, it’s pivotal to their positioning. Managing sustainability claims, whether in communications or on the pack, is fraught. However, it needs careful handling to avoid over-claiming, including insufficient verification or substantiation. Experience helps, and Brother Design is navigated through this with several clients. The right design, however, can enhance a brand’s appeal in this area while avoiding many pitfalls.

If you’re one of New Zealand’s growing band of artisanal producers, Brother Design salutes you.

“We love what you’re doing for the quality, variety, appeal and authenticity of produce in this country.”

McMillan encouraged those brands at

that stage of wondering what’s next and how to grow without losing what makes what they do special to talk to Brother Design. Brother Design loves sharing great products with more people through the power of great design. n
