THE FESTIVE SEASON... is finally upon us and we hope you have everything in order and are ready for the mayhem that the next few weeks will bring. Things are certainly getting busy here at Turners, with everyone at full steam, doing their best to keep things running as smoothly as possible. This is not always an easy task, so we thank you in advance for your patience over this busy period. This month's issue is packed full of products which are particularly relevant this time of year, from delicious Global Harvest jellies for your Christmas cheeseboards to fresh truffles to give your New Year's Eve menu a touch of luxury, if we can help you with any of the ingredients on your menus then please do get in touch. If you are still looking for a few ideas to woo your customers and offer them something particularly festive, then perhaps our main hot chocolate feature can help. Nothing is more welcoming on a cold winters night than a warm mug of hot chocolate and with all those Christmas shoppers out there this might be the perfect treat to lure them in. If you haven't ordered them already, our Christmas puddings, mince pies and crackers are all in stock and ready to order, so get in touch about those. As you are probably aware, there are new laws coming in this month regarding allergen information and the way packaged food is labelled. Please contact us if you require assistance with this.

The exceptionally good cheeses that come out of the Caws Cenarth cheese rooms are some of the most popular on our shelves, including the award winning Golden Cenarth and the delicious Perl Wen. So when we found out they had created a range of flavoured waxed minis just in time for Christmas we were very excited. These beautiful mini cheeses have a mature cheddar-like flavour with a creamy roundedness synonymous with Caws Cenarth. Only fresh natural ingredients are used, and strictly NO artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. They are a great addition to our Christmas range and we urge you to try them.

Louis is one of our tireless warehouse staff who work hard everyday making sure that the goods coming in are packed away ready to be sent out again when ordered. Louis' role sees him looking after over-stocks ready to replenish stock levels when needed. He has been at Turners for 14 months and enjoys the camaraderie and banter that is shared between the staff members. A big football fan, he plays as often as he can and loves to watch his beloved Liverpool... At 20 years old he may only be a young man but he has had a varied career so far, including being a sales assistant and model for Hollister and working at a car dealership as a salesman. Unfortunately we can't be held responsible if you have bought a dodgy motor from him in the past! Interestingly, Louis lived in America from when he was five, including three years in New York and on his bucket list he includes travelling the world, skiing in Canada and going to a Champions League final. At the moment, two out of three of those are looking like realistic possibilities.
