The exciting new range of vegan/vegetarian bites are aimed at the foodservice sector, perfect for those antipasto platters or added value in a salad. The new products would also fit the QSR sector as Source & Supply

Source & Supply’s theory about good food is as simple as this: What makes you grin? Not the façade that is put on for good measure but what actually makes you grin from ear to ear?

That smile that would infect a room, that smile that would brighten even the dullest winter mornings, that’s how the team at Source & Supply feel about food. “We challenge ourselves each day to do better, to be better, to evolve. This spills over into our products.”

Attendees who come to the tradeshow can expect to be greeted with a smile from the friendly team and a wealth of knowledge around the GreenMount products that they are more than happy to impart on anyone, as well as some key business aspects about its products and how they can be used smartly within kitchens to help save money and deliver a consistent high quality product to customers.

“Tradeshows are hugely important because it gives us a real opportunity to interact with a large amount of our current and future customers,” explained Hand.

“We get to excite them by showing off some of our new products and tradeshow also allows us to get to know some of our customers better and understand if there are any other ways we may be able to help them.”

Fleur Foods

Fleur Foodshave been making pastry and developing tasty products for the foodservice market since 1982, and with over 30 years’ experience they have it mastered. There is a fantastic team of hard-working people in the factory. They include several chefs who work extremely hard to produce the highest quality product on the market.

Fleur Foods specialises in handcrafted, added value food products, with a focus on vegan and vegetarian options. Many food manufacturers are only interested in large-scale machine-made products. Fleur Foods differs in that it focuses on the best ingredients, the most authentic production and therefore the most premium offering.

The company has a new purpose-built factory that is close to completion. This will provide the capacity to service more customers and develop a larger range of exciting new products. The company has a new innovative range of products due to launch later in the year, they are definite crowd-pleasers so be sure to talk to Fleur Foods about them when you visit their stall. Fleur Foods is all about innovation. With the move to the new factory and increased capacity, you will see many new products coming through. It is all top secret at the moment, but the chefs and food technologists are very busy in the kitchen.

“Trade shows are a great opportunity for us to talk with customers,” said Fleur Foods.

“We do a lot of specialised products for customers, so it’s a great opportunity for foodservice operators to come and chat to us about what we can develop just for them. Have you tasted our Jalapeno Poppers? If

not, get along!” chef, Grandpa’s bacons are mostly raw, this means the chef has a lot more options when it comes to food preparations.

Hendersons bacon, this is the flagship brand for Source & Supply, the bacons in this range are second to none for flavour, that deep smoky bacon dripping goodness is chemical free and has an absolute cult following. Hendersons has that good mouth feel, not the typical bacon that coats the top of your mouth with that fatty feeling and gritty teeth.

Source & Supply still make good old-fashioned speciality smoked meat products and bacons the way they always have. Now, they are adding new flavours, new cuts and slightly more ambitious foodie products to meet the new expectations from our customers. This will be released later in the year as Grandpas Professional range. These will cater directly to chefs’ palettes.

“Trade shows showcase what’s next, it’s a chance for a supplier to be in direct contact with people they may not come across, a chance for the customer to get the back story of all the products and to sample some of the greatest ingredients in the country under one roof.”
