The judges praised Keith’s editorship of Good Food, in a “seismic transition year…it’s impressive to hear the work that the editor has done to maintain the trust in the brand, and also, the quality and the investment.”  Praising Good Food magazine, the judges said: “The photography is beautiful; the food images make your mouth water.”

Describing Katherine Andreou’s achievements, the judges said: “The incredible sales figures show the success of this magazine. We also love the fact Katherine has changed the title to be more accessible to girls and she has reduced plastic on the cover mounts.”

“Having worked on the title since its launch in 2017, I feel very fortunate to have been named Youth Editor of the Year. Each issue our passionate team strive to deliver fun, engaging content designed to entertain and educate our young Pokémon-obsessed audience. To have this recognised by BSME is an honour”
