April 2006 Meeting - 'Larder
Bytes'
The next meeting of the Food
Producers' Forum will be on Tuesday, 11 April 2006 to introduce the
successful Larder Bytes initiative and to discuss its development in Forth
Valley. The meeting will be held in the Conference Room, Stirling
Business Centre, Wellgreen Place, Stirling, FK8 2DZ from 2.00 - 4.00
pm.
We do hope as many of you as possible will attend as the subject matter
offers a hugely successful and practical step forward for local producers
wishing for a fair share of the local market.
Jim Mullen of
Larder
Bytes Ltd, states that the initiative offers local producers new
avenues to market and more recognition for their produce.
The Larder Bytes
system creates volume orders and a dedicated delivery system that takes the
headache away from individual producers.
“arder Bytes
Ltd. sources the best local produce and delivers it to the best local
restaurants.
Premium local
suppliers list the quantity and availability of their produce, the Chefs
browse through the products building their menus and shopping lists around
produce at its peak.
Most importantly
for producers in Forth Valley we know this system works in Fife!
The Larder Bytes
model is also being courted in Aberdeen, Inverness and the Cairngorms
National Park. We don’t want to be left behind! Forth Valley is in an ideal
central location to offer itself as a model for this centralised order
processing system.
Please contact by
phone (01786 446 250/5) or email to let us know you can attend.
This meeting focuses on a way of
integrating all in the supply chain to maintain high quality produce and
reduce transport costs – we look forward to seeing you here.
