Harlech Foodservice continues sponsorship of tourism awards
Harlech Foodservice, headquartered in Criccieth, has pledged a new three-year sponsorship deal for the Go North Wales Tourism Awards, extending its support until 2027. The wholesaler said the partnership is a way of "showing solidarity" with the tourism and hospitality sector, which has faced significant challenges during and since the pandemic. David Cattrall, managing director of Harlech Foodservice, said: "We are delighted to announce our continued support for the North Wales Tourism Awards. "It has become such an important event in the calendar for a sector that is vital to the North Wales economy and which attracts so many people to this beautiful area of the UK. "North Wales is a world-class tourism destination which is innovative and varied and we're proud to support those businesses by committing ourselves to backing these awards for the next three years. "The tourism and hospitality industry was hit hard by the pandemic and this is our opportunity to give something back and celebrate the achievements of our core customers." The awards will be held at Venue Cymru in Llandudno on November 20. (Image: Mandy Jones) Harlech Foodservice has served as the headline sponsor since 2021. This year, the company was named UK Food Wholesaler of the Year by The Caterer magazine and was also listed among the UK's best places to work by The Sunday Times. Founded more than 50 years ago, Harlech Foodservice initially focused on supplying hotels, pubs, holiday parks, and campsites across North West Wales. The company has since expanded to serve local authorities, schools, and hospitals, but hospitality remains a core customer base. Mr Cattrall emphasised the importance of supporting the industry through consistent, transparent pricing and digital upgrades. He said: "For the same reason we have implemented fixed, transparent pricing, and upgraded our website and app to enable customers to compare range, price and product information and make instant decisions." The company's "Trust Our Prices" campaign targets smaller, independent customers with weekly price reviews against major UK wholesalers. Harlech Foodservice claims that customers can save up to 14 per cent through its Harlech 50 price comparison scheme, which benchmarks top-selling products against industry competitor Booker. Customers can also earn up to 10 per cent back annually through its My Harlech loyalty app. Jim Jones, director of Go North Wales, welcomed the renewed partnership. Mr Jones said: "We're delighted that Harlech are committing to continue to support the tourism awards for the next three years. "We have had a long and fruitful partnership with them and they have played such a key part in the region's tourism for so many years."
