Anchor Food Professionals are in the country to help upskill local pastry chefs and Punjas HORECA Sales team. Over week long Fiji tour involves visiting restaurants and hotels, hosting guest lectures and theory, on job training around Fiji.
The Fonterra Business Development Manager, Debbie Van Niekerk during the Punjas and Anchor Food Professionals Wine and Cheese Tasting at the Heineken House, Denarau Golf and Racquet Club in Nadi on Wednesday commended Punjas staff and management for their outstanding performance in the area of service delivery.
Ms. Niekerk is also in charge of Business Development for Foodservice and Specialty Cheese for Exports. The food pairing event with wine and cheese was led by the visiting Anchor Food Professionals from New Zealand.
The event which was attended by executives from hotels, restaurants and cafes was an exciting one which also featured a display of premium and specialty cheese food pairing with alcoholic beverages.
In her address, Ms Niekerk said from a Pacific perspective, the company actually looked after multiple markets all the way across the Pacific, Fiji being probably the most prominent market.
“As a first time visitor to Fiji, I don’t think I have ever experienced such a warm welcome, such a great resilience of a great industry and just the way you have bounced back and made sure that your customers and your tourists that are flocking to your shores feel super welcomed is just amazing,” she said.
“We are really blessed to work in partnership with Punjas for many years now.
