Abstract
SNUPI member, Worcester College of Technology, has become the first winner of Safari – 3663 First for Foodservice’s new sales promotion – securing a prize of £4,500.
The college won the main prize, a holiday to South Africa, but opted for free stock to the prize value instead. The Safari sales promotion - launched in March – is running for a 12-month period and comprises five "Safari seasons" with 45 prizes given away at the end of every season including a Safari holiday, home cinema systems, laptops, cameras, iPods and a host of other prizes. 3663 customers are automatically entered into the draw and build up "Safari" points when they purchase participating suppliers' products. The points earned are then turned into opportunities to win a prize. Jackie O'Connor, head of catering services at Worcester College: "It is really amazing to win because we were able to exchange the prize for a credit note and will be using it to buy equipment for one of the kitchens on site. We service several thousand students on a daily basis across five catering units and the equipment will be fitted during the holiday, so hopefully we'll have a brand new kitchen when we return in September."
