The Jim Ballance
Composts Marketing Award was launched in September to recognise and promote
the work of compost producers throughout the UK in marketing products,
researching and generating markets, and promoting the benefits of making
and using composts.
A large number of entries were received reflecting the wide diversity that
exists in terms of the range of products manufactured, the scale of operations,
and marketing methods adopted.
The entries were assessed by an expert panel consisting of The Chartered
Institute of Marketing, The Institute of Wastes Management, The Composting
Association and professional compost marketeers. Entries were judged on their
market research, marketing objectives, product development, promotions and
communications and results. Five finalists have been shortlisted:
-
Cambridge Recycling
Services - NEWleaf Composts
-
Cumberlow Composting
- Ace of Herts
-
Petersfield Growing
Media - National Trust Peat Free Growing Media
-
Terra EcoSystems

The winner of the
Jim Ballance Composts Marketing Award will be announced at the dinner reception
on the eve of the Composting Association Conference to be held at the Village
Hotel, Nottingham on Sunday, 2nd December. The trophy will be presented by
Jennie Price from the Waste Resources Action Programme.
