Premier Foods is giving independent retailers the chance to win huge prizes this season as it launches its Summer of Cricket campaign for the second year in a row. In association with Bestway and Unitas, Premier Foods is going bigger and better, giving retailers nationwide the chance to win unmissable prizes across three phases. Prizes include hospitality and general admission tickets to England v Sri Lanka at The Kia Oval and Emirates Old Trafford, as well as a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Pakistan for two lucky retailers to train with England cricket coach Paul Collingwood.
Following the success of last year’s campaign, Premier Foods has renewed its partnership with Surrey County Cricket Club and is also partnering with Lancashire Cricket Club to widen the outreach and make the giveaway more accessible for retailers across the country. What’s more, to launch the competition, retailers also have the chance to meet cricketers including Luke Wood and Rory Burns at selected UK wholesale depots.
Courtney Lewis, customer director for discounters and wholesalers at Premier Foods commented, “From speaking to our retail customers, we know that cricket is a passion point for them and the Summer of Cricket campaign allows us to celebrate the sport with them this summer. We’re going bigger than last year with the ultimate prize of a trip to Pakistan for a training session with the legendary Paul Collingwood. It’s important for us to give back to independent retailers and support our retail and wholesale channels.
“Premier Foods is one of the UK’s largest food producers with more than 9 out of 10 households buying one or more of its products every year[1]. With a variety of brands in its portfolio, this provides retailers with a great opportunity to stock shoppers favourites and help drive impulse purchases this summer.”
