Did you know that for the last 2 years we have been the sponsor of the Environmental Leadership Award through Business in the Community (BiTC) http://www.bitc.org.uk/environment/env_awards.html?
We do a lot of activity with BiTC but for me being on the panel of judges for this award is a real honour. The bar to even enter is very high as companies need to be BiTC members and to have achieved a minimum standard already – a Gold or Platinum level in the CR Index
I am delighted to report that Kingfisher won the award for 2010 and I had the pleasure of presenting their award alongside Sir Stuart Rose, Chairman of M&S and Philip Green, CEO of United Utilities – I’m the one on the left!
We will be sponsoring this award again in 2011 so I would encourage all companies who meet the minimum requirements to enter and good luck. To any business who doesn’t want to enter, I would recommend this BiTC guide though.

Well finally I can share the full story of the winning cheese – this has been in store for two weeks now and is selling well. ‘Summer Stilton’ is based on the idea suggested by one of our customers, Wendy Day from Bristol…and is White Stilton with white chocolate, orange, peach and vanilla pod.







What a fantastic day for the Core Chilled team at Asda today – yet again we have won the retailer class at the Great Yorkshire Show in the Cheese and Dairy Class.
We got First for our Extra Special Somerset Farmhouse Butter, Extra Special Lemon Curd Yoghurt (my all time favourite) and also for Asda Deli Red Leicester. We came Second with our Extra Special Chantilly Cream, Extra Special Creamy Lancashire, Extra Special Gouda and Extra Special Roquefort and Third for our Extra Special Reserve Swiss Gruyere.
It’s Nantwich International Cheese Show at the end of July so watch this space for more success.
