The HFMA announces Rob Hobson as Health Journalist of the Year 2022
The Health Food Manufacturers’ Association (HFMA) has awarded Rob Hobson, nutritionist and writer, as the deserving winner of this year’s Health Journalist of the Year Award.
The award, presented at the HFMA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) on 15th June 2022, recognises the best of journalism covering the natural health industry. This prestigious accolade is awarded on behalf of the HFMA members, recognising and acknowledging forward-thinking and progressive writing within the field of natural health.
Esther Mills-Roberts, the HFMA’s Director of Communications, said “Rob has been a beacon of responsible, scientifically sound and qualified advice for consumers around natural health, including supplementation. His profile in National press, as well as print and online channels, makes him a worthy recipient of this years’ Award, as he champions health and wellness within the general population.”
As a registered nutritionist and author of two successful books, Rob is passionate about using his knowledge to help people make sense of the ever-evolving science of nutrition. He has written extensively across all media including national press titles such as the Daily Mail, Daily Express, The Sun and Daily Mirror, health magazines including Men’s Health, Women’s Health and Top Santé as well as many online platforms.
Rob commented, “It’s a huge honour to be recognised for my work in the media. As a nutritionist my work is varied but writing makes up a big part of what I do, and I feel it’s hugely important to ensure people are getting the right information about diet and health.”
He adds, “I have worked closely alongside the HFMA this year helping to create a series of resources on key health topics including menopause and veganism. It’s great to see organisations like the HFMA put the effort into providing a trusted source of information for consumers to turn to.”
