An Evening With Country Range Group event a success

Award-winning comedian Russell Kane was the compere for Country Range Group’s An Evening With event.

Held in the Conservatory of London’s Barbican Centre, the event threw off the shackles of the past 21 months by bringing members and suppliers together.

The event was attended by senior Country Range Group members and directors, and also included the foodservice group’s annual awards. A charity raffle on the night raised £5,360 for Hospitality Action.

Among the award winners on the night were Turner Price, with the wholesaler taking two titles – Best Digital Activation and Group Member of the Year.

Fresh from winning the Foodservice Wholesaler Gold Medal, Creed Foodservice took Best Branded Supporter, while Birchall Foodservice won the Best Own-Brand Supporter award.

Among the supplier awards, Unilever Food Solutions won Marketing Excellence and Branded Supplier of the Year, while Premier Foods, D’Arta, Nestle Professional, Rich Sauces and Lamb Weston were also celebrating wins.

“It’s definitely been a difficult 18 months for our members, staff and suppliers so to reunite together in a venue as stunning as the Barbican Conservatory was a fitting celebration of everyone’s hard work and success,” said Country Range Group Managing Director Coral Rose.

“It was fantastic to see so many friendly faces again and a huge congratulations must go to all those who picked up awards on the night.”
