Spring Fair’s Cook & Dine Hall 8 played host to two culinary superstars yesterday (Monday February 3): the legendary and inspirational Mary Berry (with Captivate Brands) and Michel Roux Jr.
Michel Roux Jr spent the morning on the KitchenCraft stand to help launch the precision scales and thermometer brand Taylor. Michel chatted to cookshop and housewares buyers, and did a cooking demonstration on the stand using Taylor products, including the innovative touchless tare scale.
Meanwhile, Mary spent the morning meeting cookshop and housewares buyers, including key nationals and buying groups, with a larger group session held at the front of the stand with Bira members. She chatted to individuals and the groups about her tableware ranges and her inspiration before delighting a huge crowd of Spring Fair visitors when she appeared on The Inspiring Retail Stage.
Kevin McKay, md of Captivate Brands said: “We were thrilled with the turn out at the stand – our team had worked really hard to organise the whole session and we want to thank our retailer customers for their enthusiasm in coming to meet Mary and learn more about this wonderful collection.”
