TASTE OF BATH CELEBRATING 1st YEAR OF CORPORATE GIFTING Luxury foodie gifting company, Taste of Bath, recently celebrated the first year of their business gifting service by hosting a client reception at the Macdonald Bath Spa Hotel. Since launching the corporate gifting side of the business, Taste of Bath have worked with over 70 business locally, nationally and internationally- sending a true taste of Bath across the globe. The client event showcased eight of Taste of Bath’s bestselling producers, who chatted to guests and offered tasters of their products. Eco-delivery partner, Three Bags Full was also in attendance to show off their electric cargo bikes that make deliveries across Bath with zero emissions. Taste of Bath guests enjoyed canapes starring some of their most-loved products, that were washed down with other hamper favourites including Bath Gin & Tonics, Electric Bear Craft Ales and Bath Water. In a short speech, Jake from design agency Ready, described his experience of using Taste of Bath’s business gifting service, sharing with the audience how the agency works with clients all over the world, but only uses Taste of Bath hampers to celebrate the business roots he and the firm are so proud of. Jake said “The service Taste of Bath offers is something you just don’t get anywhere else.” Taste of Bath founder Helen Rich said: “Outstanding customer service, to make the whole experience as stress- free as possible, is just one of the reasons why our business gifting service has been such a success in its first year. It’s also down to the quality of our produce and the authenticity of our offering – through Taste of Bath, big businesses can support smaller ones and offer a gift that’s meaningful, memorable and far from generic. And of course, there’s the way we incorporate your branding (with personalised tags and scrolls for each gift box, and ribbons matched to your company colours) and your personal messages to each recipient, to put your business at the heart of the gift. “At Taste of Bath, we’re proud to champion the city’s most talented independent producers and help put Bath on the map as a foodie destination. Whether you’re a locally-based business looking for gifts to celebrate your home city, or you just want a fabulous present for friends and loved ones, we’ve got the answer!” For more info: www.taste-of.co.uk @tasteofbath Helen Rich, founder of Taste of Bath THE BUSINESS EXCHANGE 2018 41
