Select Lincolnshire and the Regional Food Group for Yorkshire and Humber (RFGYH) have teamed up to host an information and networking event in October.

The collaborative session is intended to highlight the support available to local food and drink producers within the area, from both organisations.

The evening will consist of presentations from Select Lincolnshire and the RFGYH, as well as a question-and-answer session, and will conclude with a locally sourced buffet and networking opportunity.

RFGYH regional development manager Helen Daysh said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for local producers, independent retailers, farm shops and hospitality companies to come along and see the level of support available from both organizations, which can make a tremendous difference to their business.”

Jill McCarthy, manager of Select Lincolnshire, added: “I am delighted to be working with the RFGYH on this project. We are both eager for all food and drink businesses within the area to benefit from the support available ¬¬- be it from Select Lincolnshire or from the regional food group - and we will be working together to ensure that businesses are fully informed about what support is on offer.”

The event will take place at the Forest Pines Hotel, near Brigg, on October 10, from 4.30pm-6.30-pm.
