Fresh Direct Local win the Beacon Green Tourism Award!
During February, Fresh Direct sponsored the Beacon Supplier Awards at Celtic Manor in Wales. Throughout the weekend Steve Ross, Jeannie Callaghan, Kuljit Dhariwal, Andy Slater and Sharron Spencer from Fresh Direct Local attended the exhibition and created a fun, interactive stand, consisting of the famous ‘cow and pig’ photo board along with a lucky dip competition. Winners had the chance to win a spa treatment, gift vouchers and Fresh Direct merchandise, however most were unlucky and had to take home a booby prize – a leek!
Following the conference Steve Ross and Mike Hirons attended the Beacon Gala Dinner and Awards. Steve gave an opening speech to the 350 guests, and later in the evening Mike collected two awards on behalf of Fresh Direct Local. We were the proud winners of the Beacon Green Tourism award, and also runners up of the Supplier of the Year award.
The weekend was a great success, and the team are now following up over 50 leads created at the event - well done to everyone at Fresh Direct Local who got involved!
