The Bestway Group held its annual charity race day on the 19th June at Royal Ascot with proceeds going to the grocery industry’s charity, GroceryAid.
The annual event, which celebrated its 21st anniversary this year, has raised millions of pounds for worthy causes since its inception and is a key event in the retail calendar.
In his address to the 800-strong audience including Bestway founder and chairman Sir Anwar Pervez HPk, dignitaries, suppliers and Bestway and Batley’s staff, Zameer Choudrey, Bestway Group’s Chief Executive and a trustee of GroceryAid remarked that “It is right and fitting that in our silver jubilee year, we remember all those industry colleagues who have helped shape our key UK business. On behalf of everyone at Bestway, I can tell you that we are delighted to be supporting GroceryAid this year.”
Gillian Barker, Director General of GroceryAid delivered a passionate speech on the work that the charity undertakes and was delighted that the charity was the main beneficiary. “GroceryAid makes such a difference to many individuals who are involved or who have been involved in our industry. On behalf of all at GroceryAid, I would like to relay our sincere thanks to Zameer and Bestway for their incredible gesture and to all who have supported this fantastic day. The monies raised will go a long way to helping the most vulnerable in our industry and will help the charity continue its great work.”
Further details of monies raised will be announced shortly.
