The International Egg Commission (IEC) recognized outstanding achievements in leadership, marketing, innovation, and processing across the global egg industry at the recent IEC Global Leadership Conference in Venice 2024.
“The prestigious IEC awards give us the chance to celebrate the passion, dedication, and enthusiasm of exceptional individuals and organizations each year,” said Greg Hinton, then IEC Chairman (now Immediate Past Chairman).
“The 2024 award winners represent the very best of the global egg industry, and we are proud to recognize their achievements and contributions, which continue to shape the future of eggs worldwide.”
Denis Wellstead Award for ‘International Egg Person of the Year’
“The Denis Wellstead Award recognizes exemplary service to the industry, and, this year, I am delighted to present it to Thor Stadil,” said Greg Hinton.
“Thor’s journey in the egg business began nearly 50 years ago. From the very beginning of his career, Thor brought a unique blend of knowledge, determination, and vision to his work, identifying opportunities that would ultimately lead to extraordinary success.”
“His deep-rooted connection to the IEC runs in the family, as his father was one of the original founding members of this organization. His dedication and ambition have set a high bar, and we are truly grateful for his ongoing support.”
Golden Egg Award for Marketing Excellence
The Golden Egg Award showcase took place on Tuesday 17 September at the IEC Venice Conference, featuring six presentations highlighting how companies and countries around the world are connecting with consumers to increase egg consumption.
Presenting the award, Jose Manuel Segovia (member of the judging panel) said: “Thank you to all our presenters for sharing their excellent marketing campaigns with us. For us, all the applicants are winners. But there is only one award to be given.”
“This year, it was a very close call. However, we had to choose the company who showed us what they did in the long term. So, it is an honour for me to present the 2024 Golden Egg Award for Marketing Excellence to Noble Foods!” See more.
