South East Women in Business    Award winners for Excellence in Food 2010

 

Kilkenny County Enterprise Award winners  2010

 

Mileeven to date has won twelve Great Taste Awards,  since 1999. a number of products have also made it through to the Championship rounds in London.

In August 2007 we were also presented with the prestigious SHOP Award for “Overall innovation product of the show” for our range of honey spreads. 

Many of these awards are fought for by large multi national companies and so it is a great honour for a small Irish company like ourselves to gain such outside recognition.
