Harlech Foodservice say the sponsorship package for the Go North Wales Tourism Awards is its way of “showing solidarity” with a sector that’s been through tough times during and since the Covid pandemic.

The fast-growing company will underwrite the annual event up to 2027 with this year's glittering occasion scheduled for Thursday, November 20, at Venue Cymru in Llandudno.

The firm which has its headquarters in Criccieth in Gwynedd and bases in Chester, Aberbargoed, Carmarthen and Telford, has been the headline sponsor of the tourism awards since 2021.

It is no stranger to winning awards itself, having been crowned as the UK Food Wholesaler of the Year by the Caterer magazine earlier this year.
