Country Range business development day ‘another roaring success’

A total of 32 suppliers and more than 120 member delegates attended Country Range Group’s Business Development Day (BDD) on 28-29 September at Crewe Hall Hotel & Spa.

Tideford Organics was one of 32 suppliers that participated in the event.

The suppliers had face-to-face meetings with delegates, with discussions covering supplier performance, NPD, market trends, future plans and additional support offered. There were also live demonstrations and sampling activities.

Dean Pendlebury, Country Range Group’s head of trading, commented: “It’s been a difficult few years for the foodservice sector, and with no respite in sight it’s vital that events such as our BDD are still taking place so our members and suppliers can come together to discuss future plans and activities.

“The turnout for our latest event at Crewe Hall was fantastic, with some exciting new products unveiled by visiting suppliers and lots of orders placed by delegates, so it was once again another roaring success.”

The final event in the Group’s 2022 calendar is the ‘An Evening With’ event, which this year takes place at St Paul’s Cathedral in London on 1 December. People looking to attend are advised to book their tickets as soon as possible as there are only a limited number of spaces left.

Looking ahead to 2023, the next Country Range Group BDD is scheduled to take place in February.

Suppliers wishing to be involved in any of the upcoming events are asked to email crgmarketing@countryrange.co.uk or to contact their usual Country Range Group trading contact if they are already an existing supplier to the group.
