Stockport based chartered accountants and business advisors Clarke Nicklin have teamed up with food-focused multi-disciplinary business Foodsync, to host the first Stockport Food and Drink Awards on the 20th June. Clarke Nicklin who are organisers and main sponsors of the Stockport Business Awards have been working with Foodsync to support the first Stockport Food and Drink Trade show, giving food and drink businesses and suppliers the opportunity to connect to people producing great stuff with passion and purpose; the aim of the trade show and awards is to bring those businesses closer to local suppliers within a 60 mile radius of Stockport.

The Trade show will be opening at 10am within the Stockport market area and will wrap up at 4pm, attendees are then invited to the after show party at Robinsons Brewery. The Bakers Vault will be welcoming guests of the after show party for a free drink between 4-5 and then Robinsons Brewery will open their doors at 5pm. The after show party will give guests the opportunity to carry on those conversations with new contacts, there will be drinks on arrival, and various tasters from food and drink retailers from Stockport, including La Cantina, and Angkor Soul. The evening will feature some informal awards to celebrate the successes of food and drink retailers within and around the Stockport area. The Shortlist was judged by a diverse panel of judges within the Stockport community.
