It’s been great to meet more of our new customers and share our everyday amazing products with them. I’m also thrilled that we’ve been able to support our local primary school, Armthorpe Southfield Primary School, through our partnership with Team GB.” 

Team GB star, Katy Marchant, added: “I’ve had a fantastic time with the children of Armthorpe Southfield Primary School, they were an absolute delight. It was great to talk to them about the importance of eating healthily and how it can be fun to prepare your own meals! Hopefully I’ve also managed to inspire the pupils to keep active and try different sports.”
