Terence McMaw, regional marketing controller at Bidvest 3663 said: “We were delighted to support this event, which has become a major part of the partnership we have with Sunderland AFC.
“Enabling people to try the food we offer first hand is an important part of making it easier for customers to work with us.”
Bidvest 3663 also showcased a range of own brand and branded products served from a range of stalls, along with a selection of the dishes available at the stadium as part of its extensive hospitality offering.
Matt Smith, assistant commercial director at SAFC: “It gave suppliers the chance to really showcase their products and our guests were able to also see the range of facilities we have at the stadium. We are delighted that Bidvest 3663 once again agreed to partner with us on what is a really popular event.”
Earlier in the day the suppliers welcomed more than 400 youngsters from schools across Sunderland, who were able to sample the various foods as part of a careers event to introduce them to the world of hospitality and leisure.
