Noresdagen Storefjell - a great atmosphere and deserving winners

From April 17-19, Nores Day was held at Storefjell Resort Hotel to the delight of both members and suppliers. Around 550 people attended, drawing inspiration from exciting speakers, exploring new products from vendors, and enjoying great food, drinks, industry networking, an awards ceremony, and top-tier entertainment from Dagny and Freddy Kalas. A highlight of the gala dinner was, of course, the awards ceremony for this year's winners.

Bama Storkjøkken was named “Food Supplier of the Year,” Vinhuset became “Beverage Supplier of the Year,” Culina received the award for “Non-food Supplier of the Year,” and the award for “Member of the Year” went to Hotel Wassilioff. The service wholesalers, together with TL Måkestad, took home the win for “Best Terms 2023,” which members voted on during the fair. Congratulations to you all!

There was great joy and excitement among the winners.
