SPONSORSHIP PACK

Dear Potential SponsorThe event celebrates farmers, producers, retailers and those pubs and restaurants that we enjoy visiting so much.

The success of the awards are hugely reliant on our sponsors their financial contribution has ensured that our events are of the highest standard and as a major part of the judging process, they ensure that this is always unbiased; as they bring their own particular specialised knowledge and expertise to the table.

I am very much looking forward to working with them all this year and view it as a great partnership where true community spirit is encouraged by all
