Fuller’s Extends 17-Year Partnership with Hampshire Fare

Hampshire Fare is marking another milestone in its 35th anniversary year as Fuller’s has renewed its Corporate Partnership, extending a successful 17-year collaboration supporting local food, drink and craft businesses across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

The renewal follows Hampshire Fare’s July Member Network event at The Still & West in Portsmouth, where producers, hospitality businesses and members met to celebrate local sourcing and strengthen connections.

For 17 years, Fuller’s has worked with Hampshire Fare to champion local producers and showcase Hampshire’s food and drink across its pubs.

A familiar ambassador for the partnership is Luke Emmess, Head Chef at The Wykeham Arms in Winchester and former MasterChef: The Professionals finalist. He regularly represents Hampshire Fare at food festivals and will appear at the Romsey Show on 12 September.

The partnership will continue to champion local, raise the profile of Hampshire producers, and create new opportunities for consumers to discover local food and drink.

Natasha Dochniak, Commercial Director of Hampshire Fare, said: ‘As we celebrate 35 years of championing local food, drink and craft, we’re delighted to continue our long-standing partnership with Fuller’s. Together we’ve helped connect producers with hospitality businesses and inspire consumers to support local. We look forward to building on that success through new initiatives that benefit our members and the wider local economy‘.

Rosie Gillham, Regional Sales & Events Manager at Fuller’s, added: ‘At Fuller’s, we actively build partnerships at a local level, and Hampshire Fare is a great example. It enables us to connect with customers while supporting an organisation that has Hampshire at its heart.’

The renewal is part of Hampshire Fare’s 35th anniversary celebrations, recognising the partnerships that continue to strengthen the region’s food, drink and craft sector.
