Cotswold Fayre Enters Chilled Market

The expansion responds to retailer’s desire to consolidate supplier channels in order to limit time and money spend.

Tessa Evans, a Cotswold Fayre employee for over 13 years, has been promoted to the new chilled division’s board of directors from her position as Regional Account Manager for the South of England.

Paul Hargreaves, managing director at Cotswold Fayre said, “As we expand our business into chilled distribution, it seemed natural to introduce a new role focusing on the new chilled ranges. The distribution of chilled products is a topic we are frequently asked about by current and potential customers. It is clear that there is a demand for a broader product offering and we need to do as much as we can to help the retailer by providing a more consolidated shopping experience. Tessa knows our customers inside out, demonstrating an exceptional knowledge of what products our customers need and I have every confidence that she will continue to source new, innovative products that our customers will love.”

Tessa Evans said, “I am incredibly pleased to be involved in such an exciting step for Cotswold Fayre. The extension of our product offering into chilled is a huge milestone for the company and I am looking forward to helping Cotswold Fayre continue its dramatic growth with the introduction of chilled.”

The Regional Account Manager for the South of England position has now been filled by Lizzie Vinnicombe.

Paul Hargreaves said, “We are delighted to welcome Lizzie on board. Having run a farm shop for many years, she has a wealth of experience in the industry and will be able to provide excellent product advice to our customers in the South East.”
