Belvoir Fruit Farms – Supplier of the Year 2011
Fine food distributor, Cotswold Fayre, has presented its Supplier of the Year Award 2011 to artisanal soft drinks producer, Belvoir Fruit Farms.
The Award was set up three years ago to recognise suppliers that best embrace Cotswold Fayre’s working in partnership business ethos.
Paul Hargreaves, managing director at Cotswold Fayre said: “The team at Belvoir Fruit Farms really go that extra mile to ensure a successful business relationship. They have spent time with all our sales team, run regular promotions, undertaken tastings at our customers, regularly forward us leads from trade shows and gave a presentation at our Suppliers Conference in September.
“Working closely with us has also seen sales of their products increase by 30% in 2011 too.”
Belvoir Fruit Farms, which makes naturally delicious Cordials, Pressés and Fruit Crushes at its base in Lincolnshire, has been working with Cotswold Fayre for the past 10 years.
Lawrence Moore, sales director at Belvoir Fruit Farms said: “We are delighted to have been selected as Cotswold Fayre’s Supplier of the year. When a major player in the fine food arena, like Cotswold Fayre, recognises the efforts we put into customer service, it’s a big pat on the back for all of the team here at Belvoir.
“We know that our products are of the highest quality, but to get this endorsement for our organisation feels great! We have worked with Paul and his team for many years now, and they remain a key route to market for us in the important fine food sector.
“Having a true partnership, as opposed to a transactional relationship, makes all of the difference. That’s what we feel we have with Cotswold Fayre – so the award is a real testament to that too.”
