Congratulations to CEO of Entier Limited, Peter Bruce who scooped the prestigious Grampian Food & Drink Entrepreneur of the Year at the Grampian Food Innovation awards at Aberdeen’s Mercure Ardoe House Hotel on Thursday, March 24.
Peter triumphed against tough competition from across the region, and is great recognition of the work he does leading Entier.
The awards celebrated innovation in food & drink from businesses across Grampian, from creative start-ups to established players in the industry. Peter’s win is further acknowledgement of Entier’s success. Peter commented’ “We are immensely proud of our North-east roots and our commitment to supporting our local community - 70% of the produce we use is Scottish sourced, with 95% of that coming from Aberdeenshire and the Greater Grampian region. We firmly believe in the quality and innovation of food and drink companies on our doorstep and are passionate about this across all areas of our business – from our weddings and events business to our delivered catering and remote sites”.
Sarah Mackie, Scottish Procurement Director for Brakes, led the judging panel, which included Michael Whiteford, Buying Director at ALDI and food blogger Hilary Sturzaker. Sarah Mackie said: “The Awards are a great platform for rewarding and celebrating innovation in the food and drink sector and we are delighted to see existing companies driving innovation with new products as well as an encouraging number of new local businesses starting up and others evolving.”
We are always developing new and innovative ways in which to serve our clients better, using locally sourced produce, and this accolade is tribute to Peter as a driving force for change and improvement in the way that we operate as a caterer.
