Edwin Henry Booth had one simple aim, 'To sell the best goods he could buy, in shops staffed with first class assistants'. Since June 1847, Booths has remained true to his word by continuing to engage with local suppliers and produce to provide the very best range of seasonal products for its customers. With the help of Booths, we are offering you a once in a lifetime experience to present your product to one of Booths' senior buyers. The event will aim to give small to medium sized producers an opportunity to receive expert advice from one of the senior buyers. A 15 minute pitch is available to each supplier, where the buyer will examine and analyse your product. For years, Booths has always taken great pride in the quality of it's products and is forever seeking innovative and competent local food suppliers. So, if you think your product has got what it takes or if you are in need of some expert advice, then hurry and book now! 15 minute slots are allocated at a first come first serve basis.
