Major International Advertorial

With a selection of new product launches on the horizon, a number of prestigious competitions in the pipeline and a huge sponsorship deal in the bag, 2014 is really looking set to be Majors’ year. David Bryant, Managing Director of Major International: “What more can I say? With the growth rate we had in Q3 and Q4 of 2013, this year was always destined to be phenomenal and the first three months have exceeded expectations. I’m delighted in terms of our innovation, conceptual development and flavour profiling and I couldn’t be prouder of my team.

We work very closely with our customers and listen to exactly what it is they’re looking for. To us, that’s the most important thing. We’ll create bespoke flavours and dishes specifically for our customers to enable them to achieve their goals. This year we’ve already developed a number of new ranges and products to add to our existing lines and the buzz around the Major Headquarters is infectious.” These new products are due to be launched at Hotelympia 2014 and what a show it is shaping up to be. With a team of chefs on hand to create some of your favourite Major recipes along with samples of all the new products, you won’t want to miss out.

We continually support industry events and competitions such as TUCO to reflect this as we want to nurture the best young talent in the field," continues David Bryant.

Major are also proud to report a new sponsorship deal which has just been agreed for the next three years. “I’m delighted to announce that we are now one of the official sponsors of the Craft Guild of Chefs Culinary team for the foreseeable future," says David.
