GroceryAid raised over half-a-million pounds from its recent Gala Ball, held on March 9 at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel.
Ticket sales plus monies raised on the night combined to raise a jaw-dropping total of £550,000.
Over 1,100 industry colleagues filled the new venue to enjoy an evening of entertainment hosted by comedian Russell Kane. The crowd, more than twice the size of last year’s, was treated to performances from Escala, Filet of Soul and headliner Ronan Keating (pictured).
GroceryAid’s Chief Executive Steve Barnes said: “With many major retailers, wholesalers and suppliers in the room, the industry has certainly done itself proud tonight.”
The date of the GroceryAid Ball 2019 is confirmed as Thursday February 28. Companies are urged to book quickly to secure a table. Contact events@groceryaid.org.uk or call 01252 875925.
