Winners of the Best Shell Scheme - Fine Food Australia 2008

THE ORIGINAL PICKLE CO TAKES TOP PRIZE AT FINE FOOD AUSTRALIA!
BEST SHELL SCHEME 2008

As you all know the Fine Food Australia Trade Show is one of the most acclaimed food shows in the world, attracting over 40,000 visitors. With over 1000 exhibitors it’s easy to get lost in the mix and be easily overlooked but this year The Original Pickle Co. not only attracted thousands of visitors to their stand but they also attracted the eye of the organizers and the judges of the Fine Food Awards, who awarded the stand as the winner of the coveted “Best Shell Scheme” out of 5 finalists. They noted the detailed effort clearly reflected the quality of product that was on display and that they hadn’t seen such an amazing display in the entire building that actually told a story about the products. When founder and managing director, Phillip Dellaportas was asked about his win he had this to say “we have a commitment to quality of product, and we ensured it showed through our display and I’m extremely happy that it was recognised”. He also expressed his thanks to management and staff for helping make it all possible.
