The shortlist for the first Stockport food & drink awards taking place on 20th June has been revealed as Stockport based chartered accountants and business advisors Clarke Nicklin team up with food-focused multi-disciplinary business Foodsync.
Clarke Nicklin, organisers and main sponsors of the Stockport Business Awards, have been working with Foodsync to support the first Stockport Food and Drink Trade show, giving food and drink businesses and suppliers the opportunity to connect to people producing great stuff with passion and purpose.
The aim of the trade show and awards is to bring those businesses closer to local suppliers within a 60 mile radius of Stockport.
The Trade show will be opening at 10am within the Stockport market area and will wrap up at 4pm when attendees are invited to the after-show party. The Bakers Vault will be welcoming guests of the after show party for a free drink between 4-5 and then Robinsons Brewery will open their doors at 5pm.
The after show party will give guests the opportunity to carry on those conversations with new contacts, there will be drinks on arrival, and various tasters from food and drink retailers from Stockport, including La Cantina, and Angkor Soul. The evening will feature some informal awards to celebrate the successes of food and drink retailers within and around the Stockport area. The Shortlist was judged by a diverse panel of judges within the Stockport community.
