BIANZ teams up with Fine Food New Zealand |
|
The Baking Industry Association is set to play a major role in Fine Food New Zealand’s inaugural show, with on-site judging of their Bakery of the Year Competition, BIANZ members’ lounge, stand and support for the Weston Milling Trainee of the Year Competition. Fine Food New Zealand, taking place from 13-15 June 2010 at the ASB Showgrounds in Auckland, combines New Zealand’s premier food exhibition, The Food Show, with Australia's most prestigious food trade show, Fine Food Australia.
The three-day international food, drink and equipment showcase is attracting support from many influential organisations and exhibitors. BIANZ President Jason Heaven says the Association is really excited about the possibilities offered by Fine Food. “The show offers fantastic networking and trading opportunities to anyone in the food industry.” BIANZ Executive Officer Belinda Jeursen says Fine Food New Zealand is an excellent way for the Association to combine its annual meeting with a major food event. “Visitors will have access to our regular features, like the competitions, but they will also get to see a huge range of food, drink and equipment and meet exhibitors, other visitors and traders from all over the New Zealand and the world.” In addition to a stand, BIANZ is setting up a Baking Feature Area where the Bakery of the Year Competition will be judged in full view of those attending the show. The products entered will be on display for the duration of the show so that everyone can see the top quality product being made by bakeries around New Zealand. “BIANZ is lining up New Zealand’s top bakers to judge the Bakery of the Year Competition. It will include several sections that allow bakers and patisserie chefs to show off their unique skills and creativity. The competition will be visually appealing and interesting to anyone who works with food,” says Belinda. The Trainee of the Year Competition and other live baking events will also take place in the Feature Area. “And on top of all this,” adds Jason, “we’ll be providing a lounge for our members and associates at the show, somewhere they can go to do business, meet like minded people or just take time out from what promises to be a very busy and absorbing show.” There will be a bar, refreshments and a barista on hand. The Association’s AGM will also take place here. The popular BIANZ Annual Awards Dinner will be held off site on Monday 14th June at the Rendezvous Hotel in Auckland, where winners in the Bakery of the Year Competition and the Trainee of the Year Competition will be awarded for their efforts. Belinda says the Awards Dinner is always a special evening and is well attended by those involved in the baking industry.
