I found that Whitbread is a large Brit food company that did sponsor some book awards

William, me old china, Whitbread is the prince, nay, the sine qua non of British beers. I don't know whether they withdrew sponsorship because of financial difficulties or because Volvo used the old swede and outbid them.

As our time/space challenged lounge lizard has already informed you, we don't expect to be involved in it. We don't EXPECT to win it. We KNOW we will win it.
