The Caravan Achievement Awards programme is delighted to
announce that Allied Bakeries has been recognised with the
prestigious accolade of a Gold Achievement Award for the first
time.
The Gold award recognises the strong contribution Allied
Bakeries has made in supporting Caravan's national events, in
particular as sponsors of the Annual Diamond Ball and the
participation of eight riders in the 2010 London to Paris Cycle
Challenge. In addition, the company supports Caravan's central
committees and regional branches, in particular the Northern
Ireland, North East and Thames Valley branches. Allied Bakeries
also contributes to raising awareness of the charity with its
promotion of its achievements at the Windermere Row within internal
news channels and local newspapers.
The Achievement Awards are designed to bring recognition and
thanks to all companies that support the charity. This year's
awards have really shown how support can come in many different
forms.
2011 has continued to be a challenging year for everyone within
the UK grocery industry, yet despite the undoubtedly difficult
times, Caravan has seen businesses across the industry pull
together to drive their fundraising activities and offer support in
every possible capacity.
Gillian Barker, Caravan Director General comments "I'd like to
personally thank everyone within Allied Bakeries who has helped
support Caravan this year. Caravan has a stated aim of providing
aid and assistance to those in need who have been involved in any
way with the grocery business in the UK. Your efforts these past
twelve months have enabled us to spend a record-breaking £2.1M on
welfare provision."
