Simon Hargraves, Commercial Director: 'We are thrilled to have won The Good Egg Award. It's always great to be acknowledged independently.

‘We only use free-range eggs at Pret because it makes sense and is the obvious thing to do, in fact it's the only thing to do. They taste great.’

Nicki Fisher, Sustainability Manager: 'Becoming a Good Egg Winner is so easy and makes so much sense - winning an award isn't the reason to use free-range eggs in all our products but a happy by-product. Good animal husbandry and welfare standards are a must, and attaining these for your business is an easy, hassle free process these days. In this day and age there is really no excuse.’
