We search year-round for nominees and influencers who will inform and inspire, surprise and delight.  Primarily there are a number of main sources of research that are used in the initial compilation of our shortlist.  The Power 100 research team uses proprietary database software which aggregates data from multiple sources, including news flow aggregation and processing, web scraping, journalistic research, consumer research, social media research, online nominations, client reviews, trade research and statistical forecasting.

If you know of an individual, or organisation who should be included in the Exceptional Organisations & Leadership shortlist and Awards, or if you belong there yourself, we want to hear from you!   We’re always looking for new influencers to add to the food and drinks Power 100 community.  Through the British Restaurant & Food Awards, we help some great people to connect and share their ideas — but they start with your nominations.
