The Taste of Grampian steering committee is headed up by Brian Pack.
Every year the ANM Group Ltd provides the Inverurie Thainstone Centre venue for the event free of charge and its staff assist in the set up and running of the day.
ANM's commitment to the continued success of Taste of Grampian stems from a strong belief that the event acts as a vital promotional tool for all aspects of Grampian's food industry.
In addition, the event always proves to be great day out for visitors and reminds them of the importance of Grampian's diverse food industry, allowing them to act as ambassadors for their area.
The Taste of Grampian is undoubtedly a major opportunity for the food and drink producers to meet the consumer. The event has increased in its popularity over the 10 years it has been running and 2009 was no exception in bringing a wide variety of locally produced food and drink to the consumer.
Our companies sell to local, national and global markets and it is important that people recognise the quality produce, skills and expertise that we have in our vibrant food and drink sector.
We look forward to welcoming you to Taste of Grampian in 2010.
