The Greatest Show on Earth! The Year March-es On!

Well already approaching the end of the first quarter of 2018! Hopefully it will be a busy one for shops and suppliers as we approach Mother’s day and Easter too. Congratulations to all at Friars Pride. Once again, they have delivered a fantastic trade show with even more visitors it seemed than ever.

Onceagain hundreds descended on London for the return of the (2023) Fish and Chip Awards! Well done to the NFFF for taking on this incredible platform for our industry. The board including Andrew Crook, Caroline Murphy, Lesley Graves & Josette Foster all worked incredibly hard to make them happen giving up their own free time and time away from their businesses.
