Visit Somerset the County’s official destination management organisation for Somerset has just had three further food & drink brands join its ranks in the last month.
The brands, that join the line-up such as Thatcher’s Cider, Sheppy’s Cider, Newton House Gin & Miles Tea & Coffee, now also include The BayTree, Quantock Brewery and Godminster Cheese, all high profile brands looking for further support in terms of brand recognition and commercial opportunities.
Emma McDonald the Managing Director of the The Bay Tree business has said; “The Bay Tree Food Company is very excited to be supporting Visit Somerset having started and run the business from Somerset for 24 years. We look forward to getting involved with events and supporting their efforts to champion Somerset as a great place to be whether living here or visiting”.
Jodie Norris / National Craft Manager at the Quantock Brewery has said; “It’s a pleasure to be working alongside the team at Visit Somerset and to be a part of the Buy Somerset Strategy. Visit Somerset shares a similar ethos as us and we feel working with local partners and being a part of the community will always be key to the success of local Somerset businesses. By working together, we are able to show the rest of the UK the fantastic and unique products available across the county. The food and drinks industry within Somerset have always had a fantastic reputation, something we are very proud to be a part of and we look forward to the opportunities working with Visit Somerset will bring and the relationships we are able to build from this partnership.”
Rowen Campbell Marketing Manager says “With roots firmly in Somerset, Godminster is looking forward to working with Visit Somerset to further promote our brand and create awareness of the wonderful food that the county has to offer. Godminster Farm has been producing milk for over one hundred years and with our Vintage Organic Cheddar celebrating its 18th Birthday this year, we are very excited to see what the future holds.”
John Turner CEO at Visit Somerset comments;” We are delighted that The BayTree , Quantock Brewery and Godminster Cheese have joined Visit Somerset. This at a very exciting time for Visit Somerset with a great deal of online and off-line developments underway. With our new website development now in full swing one of the developments that will be close to our ‘Buy Somerset’ strategy will be based around E Commerce and helping members to publicise their own E Commerce through the Visit Somerset site and social media, boasting some of the largest digital footprint in the county.”
“Business for us is all about supporting businesses to grow through traditional means or in line with consumer trending. Being able to have the advantage of publicising all our producers on new dynamic web pages in the near future and giving the opportunity for people to Buy Directly, we are hoping will really go to support all of our producer networks that work so closely with us. This combined with extensive networking means that we can really be seen to be making a difference”.
