Country Range Group celebrates 25th anniversary

Hampton Court was the setting for ‘An Evening with Country Range Group’, with members, suppliers and guests celebrating the organisation’s 25th anniversary and toasting winners of the annual supplier and member awards.

The event also resulted in £12,580 being raised towards the group’s target of £25,000 for Hospitality Action.

“It’s been the group’s most successful 12 months,” said managing director Coral Rose (pictured), “so we couldn’t ask for a better way to celebrate our 25th year and showcase how independent foodservice wholesalers can thrive.

“We wouldn’t have a business if it wasn’t for the people working in the hospitality sector, so we’re all delighted to be assisting Hospitality Action, who provide support to the people who need it most.”

Hosted by television personality Patrick Kielty, the awards evening was attended by 180 suppliers and senior representatives from CRG’s 12 member wholesalers.
