AYT Foods is proud to celebrate another remarkable milestone as our Founder and Director, Temitope Ajayi-Salami, has been officially recognised as a Finalist for Retail Entrepreneur of the Year (Scotland) at the 2025 Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards.
Often referred to as one of the most prestigious honours in UK entrepreneurship, the Great British Entrepreneur Awards shine a spotlight on leaders who are transforming industries, driving innovation, and creating meaningful impact within their communities. Being named a finalist is a significant achievement on its own, and a clear reflection of the rapid rise and influence of AYT Foods within Scotland’s retail landscape.
“This recognition is deeply meaningful. It reflects the heart, resilience, and vision behind AYT Foods,” said Temitope Ajayi-Salami. “We started with a simple mission to bring authentic African and Caribbean foods closer to families in Scotland. Today, we are building a movement, a community, and a brand that represents culture with pride.”
Since launching in Dunfermline, AYT Foods has grown into an award-winning cultural brand celebrated for its quality, customer experience, and unwavering commitment to community. This latest recognition adds to the company’s expanding list of achievements, including multiple national awards, industry features, and ongoing community impact work through TMAS Community CIC.
The entire AYT Foods team celebrates this honour as a shared win, a testament to the customers, supporters, and partners who continue to champion the brand’s journey.
AYT Foods remains committed to expanding its footprint, innovating within the retail space, and elevating African and Caribbean food culture across Scotland and beyond.
