Mellors Mega Day 2022!

Sunday 6^th March saw the much anticipated return of Mellors Mega Day and what a day it was! More than 110 of our amazing Catering Managers, Catering Assistants, Operations team and support office staff were in attendance at Lancashire Manor Hotel in Skelmersdale for an exciting day of training and idea sharing.

The theme for the day was ‘Back to the Future’ and it started with a lovely meet and greet over a coffee and breakfast sandwich, followed by an introduction to what to expect from the day by our Managing Director Mark Timmerman and Chief Operating Officer Tony Trainor. The delegates then enjoyed a morning of interesting and inspirational training and development sessions from some of our support teams, including Health and Safety Manager Sally, HR Manager Jenna and our extremely talented chefs.

Following an open question and answer session with a number of the Mellors team, we had the opportunity to thank a number of our suppliers, who were in attendance, for their hard work and support in what continue to be difficult circumstances. That really was a special moment!

After a lunchtime break, which included delicious food and a supplier trade fair with 13 of our suppliers exhibiting, the afternoon saw more opportunity to learn in sessions run by our Heads of Food Development and Marketing.

The day culminated with everyone back together again in the beautiful Great Hall, for reflections on the day and prizes! There were lots of chances to win prizes throughout the day. Below is Julie from Arundale Primary School, who was delighted with her prize from Coulton’s Bread.

It was fantastic to have so many of our brilliant Mellors family together in one room, after so long! Roll on 2023… we’ll get planning so it’s better than ever!
