GroceryAid Achievement Awards 2015
Silver Winner
The Achievement Awards programme has now come to the end of its eighth year and GroceryAid is delighted to announce that Greencore Group has been recognised with the prestigious accolade of a Silver Achievement Award.
The Silver Award recognises the contribution that Greencore Group has made on our regional committees, in particular, their strong support of the Midlands Branch, where Michael Evans is a member. The company also attends several national events including the Diamond Ball, National 5-a-side, and also entered two chefs into the Cook of the Year competition. In addition, Greencore raises awareness of the charity within social media and on its website.
The Achievement Awards are designed to bring recognition and thanks to all companies that support the charity. This year’s awards have really shown how support can come in many different forms. Many more companies are helping by joining one of the GroceryAid committees, taking part in fundraising events, supporting local branches or making a charitable donation. All of this support is taken into account when the Judges decide on Achievement Award winners.
During 2015 GroceryAid has seen businesses across the industry pull together to drive their fundraising activities and offer support in every possible capacity. Gillian Barker, GroceryAid Director General comments; “GroceryAid provides support to those in need who have been involved in any part of the grocery industry in the UK, be that the largest factory, the supply chain or the smallest of stores. I’d like to thank everyone at Greencore Group for your help in making this happen, in particular through your support of our national and regional events. Your efforts enabled us to spend £4M on welfare support and to help thousands of grocery people in need. I am extremely grateful that you continue to support your industry charity, GroceryAid.”
Now in their ninth year, the GroceryAid Achievement Awards are our way of giving public recognition to companies, large or small, who actively support the charity in both ordinary and extraordinary ways.
