Renowned French chef, Pierre Koffmann, will attend IFEX to announce an exclusive partnership with The Food Heroes and Hender Foodservice.
Pierre will join business development chef, Geoff Baird on Tuesday 5th March at Henderson’s stand (B2) for a Q&A, while Geoff cooks up some of the products that are now available to hospitality businesses across the island of Ireland, thanks to the exclusive supply deal.
IFEX visitors will know Pierre Koffmann as one of the most celebrated chefs in the UK, thanks to his tenure as head chef of Koffmann’s at The Berkeley hotel in London until 2016, and as one of a handful of chefs in the UK to have been awarded the coveted three Michelin stars at his La Tante Claire restaurant in the capital.
Koffmann’s range of potatoes and chips is the leading UK chef’s brand for potatoes under The Food Heroes brand, founded by Pierre’s brother in law, Simon Martin. The team works with their dedicated growers group to develop varieties, select best regional soil variations and maintain strict conditioning and storage regimes. In recent years, the brand has extended its range and moved into the frozen market with five new products and Koffmann’s Frites range.
Henderson Foodservice will exclusively supply Koffmann’s frozen range of products from the family’s The Food Heroes brand in Ireland, giving hospitality businesses the opportunity to put even more premium products on their menus.
Cathal Geoghegan, Managing Director of Henderson Foodservice says; “We are thrilled to bring Pierre Koffmann and The Food Heroes team to IFEX this year. As the biggest hospitality event in the calendar, this is a huge opportunity for restauranteurs and hospitality business owners and buyers to understand even more what our company is about, and our ambition to bring highly sought-after products and services from our exclusive suppliers and our team of experts, for their own businesses.
“Expect a lot of fun at our stand on Tuesday 5th March with Pierre and Chef Geoff taking part in a Q&A, alongside Geoff cooking up some fantastic samples with another of our newest suppliers, K&G McAtamney Wholesale Meats. As ever, our supplier marketplace will be brimming with new products, ideas and innovations for every hospitality business, while our coffee sampling and Barista Bar offering will keep visitors fueled throughout.”
Henderson Foodservice will once again bring one of the biggest shows in town to IFEX this year, combining their top standard services and expertise including their award-winning online ordering platform alongside their response to trends and solutions for their customer base.
