Noresdagen Storefjell - god stemning og verdige vinnere

On April 17-19, Nores Day was held at Storefjell Resort Hotel to the great delight of both members and suppliers. Around 550 people attended, drawing inspiration from exciting speakers, watching news from the vendors, enjoying great food and drink, industry talk, awards ceremony and top entertainment with Dagny and Freddy Kalas. Some of the highlights during tonight's gala dinner were, of course, the awards ceremony to this year's winners.

Bama Storjøkken was named “Food Supplier of the Year”, Vinhuset became “Beverage Supplier of the Year”, Culina received the award as “Nonfood Supplier of the Year” and the award for “Member of the Year” went to Hotel Wassilioff. The service wholesalers together with TL Måkestad got away with the win “Best condition 2023”, which the members themselves could vote on during the fair. Congratulations to you all!

There was great joy and amused reactions to track among the winners.

It is the members of Nores who vote for Suppliers of the Year in the various categories through a member survey, and about Food Supplier of the Year they say; Bama Storkøkken delivers quality at all stages, through their products, delivery, development, expertise, knowledge sharing, communication and service. The staff are pleasant, always available and passionate about their field of expertise.
