More than £46,000 is expected to be raised for Every Well Water Foundation following the ‘Celebrate Wholesale’ charity dinner organised by Time Wholesale. In addition, £5,000 is being donated to the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.

Over 400 guests attended the event at The City Pavilion, Romford, on 17 March. These included leading suppliers and 14 different wholesalers: Booker, Brakes, CoBev, Global Cardiff, Holland Bazaar, HT Drinks, Imperial, JJ Foodservice, Millennium, MSB, RA Trading, Star Beers, Time Wholesale and Unitas.

Every Well Water Foundation is a charity organisation designed to help trusted local charities around the world to fund safe and clean water projects and sanitation requirements in developing countries.

The welcome speech was delivered by Neil Turton, chairman of the charity trustees, along with representatives from one of the charity recipients, Drop4Drop.

More than 60 auction and raffle prizes were donated by guests, with all income being donated to the charity.

Sony Bihal, managing director of Time Wholesale and founder of the Every Well Water Foundation, said: “We had a fantastic evening. We wanted to give everyone the opportunity to ‘Celebrate Wholesale’, which we did, so a massive thanks to everyone who attended and also to everyone who donated product or prizes to make it such a special evening.”

The event was supported by the FWD and sponsored by TradeBridge and Payment Pros.
