AYT Foods is proud to announce that our Founder and Director, Temitope Ajayi-Salami, has been recognized as a Scotland Finalist for Retail Entrepreneur of the Year 2025 at the prestigious Allica Bank Great British Entrepreneur Awards.
Often described as the “Grammys of Entrepreneurship,” these awards celebrate the boldest and most innovative business leaders across the UK. Becoming a finalist is an honour reserved for entrepreneurs who demonstrate exceptional vision, resilience, and industry impact — and we are proud to see AYT Foods represented on this national stage.
“Being named a finalist is a humbling moment for me and a proud moment for AYT Foods,” Temitope shared. “Our journey has been fueled by passion, purpose, and the desire to bring authentic African and Caribbean foods closer to families in Scotland. This recognition validates the hard work and the community that continues to support our story.”
Since launching in Dunfermline, AYT Foods has become an award-winning cultural food brand, known not only for its retail excellence but also for its strong community impact, customer experience, and commitment to celebrating African and Caribbean heritage in Scotland.
This finalist achievement adds to AYT Foods’ growing list of accolades, including wins at the UK Startup Awards, Prestige Awards, and features in multiple UK-wide business campaigns.
