The company was commended for its promotion of Bramley products and its work with schools to increase children’s knowledge and awareness of the British Bramley apple.
Sodexo’s marketing team has worked tirelessly to incorporate Bramley apples into menus across the company’s business segments and to get customers as well as staff excited and informed about Bramley apples through internal competitions and promotions. One of which was a Bramley apple recipe competition for staff held during Bramley Apple Pie Week last October.
Adrian Barlow, chairman of the Bramley Apple Campaign, said: “The competition in all categories has been very high this year. The winners have shown outstanding support for Bramley apples during the past twelve months and I am delighted that they have been recognised through the Brammy Awards.”
Mandy Van Hagen, marketing and promotions manager, Sodexo UK and Ireland, added: “We are delighted to have won this Brammy Award. The team has worked very had over the last 12 months and has come up with truly innovative ways of promoting the Bramley apple which is a delicious national favourite and can be used in a really wide variety of sweet and savoury dishes.”
The Brammy Awards ceremony took place recently at HIX restaurant in Soho, London.
