Quotes from the Open Day

"So happy, so great, so glad to have been on this week with you guys!

Hope to see you in Paris, you are really great people and I won't forget!

Thank you also to your wife Jo, James and all your family! (your dad is really sympathic!)

We are proud to be more than your supplier!"

"Thanks James to you and all your team for a fantastic day on Tuesday. I was so impressed to see so many top suppliers from the UK and all over Europe all under one very impressive roof mixing with so many top chefs from past present and future. This year is going to be a tough one but with the support of great suppliers like Wellocks it just makes it that much easier."

"Dear James,

Let me thank you for your invitation. We enjoyed your opening and we were impressed by your new premises and the wide vavriety of your product range. We did not know and realise you did so many different products.

Further I am very happy that there are still some people in our line of business who are willing to invest in working in a professional way. I have seen my fair share of businesses and I often have tears in my eyes and wonder what will happen in the future. With this step you however are prepared for the future and your future expansion. We as Koornstra wish you and your team all the best and we hope for a further long and strong business relation.

Last but not least, you are as Wellocks like Koornstra a family business and you, just like ourselves, care about our people. I am always proud that we can operate as a family company and I also saw this same pride by your family. This I also see as an asset for the future.

Thanks again and enjoy your weekend."

"To Everyone at Wellocks

Thank you so much for inviting us to your open day on Tuesday, we had a very enjoyable day. It was good to meet you all and put a face to all those Jos and Sues! We particularly enjoyed meeting the suppliers especially the Dutch herb lady and the smiley Belgium pastry man. I am particularly looking forward to our first order of delicious yogurts from Glenilen Farm. We certainly made our friends and family envious when they saw our video clip of Dougie, he was fantastic.

With Best Wishes for better weather and a busy 2011."

"Hi Simon

"Thanks for having me up for the day on Tuesday – it was a really good bash and what  a great day to celebrate 50 years of the Wellocks family business.  The Fresh Olive Company were proud to show their products in such esteemed company and in such smart surroundings. Thank you"

Also, I’ve been telling the guys at work how smart all the Wellocks branded gear was and especially all the 50 years branded bits – is there any chance that I cold get/borrow one of those fancy Wellocks jackets – or possibly trade it for a highly desirable Fresh Olive Apron, so I can show the guys?"

"We arrived in Paris, everything was fine. James we are all for thanking you again for the invitation and for the fantastic event you organised."

"Dear James, This is just to thank you for your generosity organising the Open Day. It is a great platform to let the final consumer know about my product but It has also been wonderful from the personal point of view. You have a wonderful family which has allowed me to feel very confortable being a complete foreigner. Both your parents are so kind and loving to everybod ...
A good example of a solid personality and entrepreneurs driven by strong principles. It has been like a fresh air breath in the middle of the current business ambience. Thank you for the lovely dinner (your Father ordered Spanish wine...) and for making sure that we were all fine. We are very exited to start collaborating with your company and hope it will be a long term relationship. Please expand my gratitude to Jo and your brother."
