We shoot, we score - kicking up a storm on the pitch - Fenmarc gets Football Fever.

Football fever hit Fenmarc this month as we went head to head on the football pitch with other businesses in the grocery industry, playing our hearts out to be named champions of the annual industry 5-a-side football tournament!

Now in its 8th year the event has raised over £79k to date, with this year's event raising enough to reach the £100k target! Run on behalf of UK based charity; Caravan, the funds raised help those in the grocery industry (past and present) who are in need of some extra support. This years money will help more than 28 beneficiaries which can more than double their disposable income.

Fenmarc were up against some tough competition including, Parfetts, Salad Works, Mcurrah, Hazeldene, TATA Global Beverages, and Buckingham Foods. We fought it out in six games before reaching the knock out stages, where we beat TATA Global Beverages 5-2 and were knocked out of the tournament by Pernod Ricard with a defeat of 3 - 1. The 'champion' title went to a worthy winner - Kellogg's.

Star appearances for Fenmarc were made by Craig Coxhead - National Account Manager, Ian Olive -Prepared Business Leader, Matt Walton -Supply Chain Analyst and Jon Langmead -Business Analyst.

With a total of 11 goals scored, 1 injured and 1 sent off it was definitely an eventful day!
