Powder Monkey, which was founded in Gosport, but has interests in Australia and across the UK, has been a long-standing member of Hampshire Fare but has now committed to a wider remit and commitment to the influential group.
“Having been Hampshire Fare members from our launch, engaging with them through their work and networking, we have built a strong relationship with the team,” said Powder Monkey chief executive Andy Burdon.
“To take this to the next level and become corporate partners as we are growing our business makes perfect sense.”
Hampshire Fare commercial manager Natasha Dochniak said: “Corporate partners contribute both financially and strategically, allowing Hampshire Fare to invest in new projects, marketing campaigns, and events. Their support underpins key initiatives that benefit the wider membership and the local community.
“We only partner with organisations that share our values of sustainability, community, and quality. These partnerships help reinforce Hampshire Fare’s mission to champion local food and drink, while also reflecting our partners’ commitment to supporting local businesses.
“Partnerships with Hampshire Fare offer corporate partners a chance to be more deeply involved in the community. This mutually beneficial relationship allows partners to strengthen their local credentials while helping Hampshire Fare members access new opportunities.”
Natasha added: “We all know that food and drink tastes better when it has been made with care and passion, and it feels so much more special when we know the people and the stories behind the produce.
“Stories create emotional connections. Local produce is a great example of this. With full commitment at Powder Monkey Group from the CEO, Andy Burdon, down to local sourcing and supporting local growers and producers, Hampshire Fare and Powder Monkey are perfect partners!”
