Successful Nisa-Todays Exhibition for TRF
Taylors Regional Foods (TRF) continued to strengthen their relationship with one of the UK’s leading convenience sector retailers, Nisa – by exhibiting in the Local Sourcing pavilion at the recent Stoneleigh show near Birmingham. Over 300 suppliers showcased their products from 20th to 21st April and TRF were delighted to present a selection of fantastic Locally Sourced lines from all three TRF UK Hubs.
The exhibition gave TRF a chance to meet Nisa store owners and members of the Nisa trading teams over the two days, to discuss how best to maximise sales development opportunities as well as letting them sample the great selection of products from Scotland, Wales & the Southwest.
TRF Regional Sales Executive Karen Nicholl commented, “We had a very good response to Local Sourcing from a number of potential new Nisa stores which we will follow up through our sales team at each Hub”. Karen added, “While Local Sourcing can be somewhat challenging to handle in the convenience sector, we certainly have strong support from Steve Hodson the Nisa Group Local & Direct Sourcing Manager, who is actively working with us in partnership in each of the three TRF areas, so we are confident we can continue to develop our Nisa customer base over the course of the next few months and beyond.”

Update: Sian Bruce - Skeet Shooting - February 2010
Sian recently returned from the Commonwealth Shooting Federation Championships held in New Delhi with a Silver Medal for the Ladies Olympic Skeet.
Although Sian was the only lady representing Scotland, the organisers allowed her to compete in the Ladies Olympic Skeet Pairs Competiton where she was awarded an individual bronze medal.
We are delighted, yet again, to congratulate Sian on her continued success.

Update on Sponsorship: Sian Bruce - Skeet Shooting - October 2009
All of the Great Britain Selection Shoots are finished for this year and Sian's rankings are 3rd Lady Great Britain and 1st Junior Lady Great Britain.
During the year Sian also achieved creditable performances at the European Junior Championships in Suhl, Germany, finishing in 10th position, the European Championships in Croatia, finishing in 11th position and the World Championships in Slovenia, finishing in 10th position.
Sian will continue to train at Auchterhouse Country Sports throughout the winter in preparation for the registered shoots which start in January. She is also a member of Tayside and Fife Institute of Sport and participates in strength and conditioning training at the University of Dundee's sports facility.
Sian's coach has also organised a week's training in Lonato, Italy, during November in preparation for the Commonwealth Shooting Federation's Competition which will be held in Delhi, India, during February 2010. This competition is for all shooting disciplines, therefore she will definitely compete. However, it is not yet known if the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, taking place during October 2010, will have a full programme of disciplines.
We congratulate Sian on her achievements to date and wish her continued success in 2010.

Sponsorship: Sian Bruce - Skeet (Clay Pigeon) Shooting
Taypack is sponsoring Sian, from Muirhead by Dundee, as she works towards achieving her ambition of competing successfully at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi and the 2012 Olympic Games in London.
We would like to thank Sian's mother, Susan, for the following update:
2009:
The mid-winter months were generally quieter for Sian with no competitions. However, during February and March she travelled to Doveridge and East Yorkshire shooting grounds for two 2 day training events with the Scottish Coach.
The first Great Britain Selection Shoot was held at Doveridge on the 4th and 5th of April. Sian was in the final shoot-off and was placed sixth.
The Britannia Grand Prix was held at Southern Counties on the 18th and 19th of April. Sian was once again in the final shoot-off and was placed fourth.
It is worth noting that unless a competition is specifically for Juniors, Sian competes with Senior and Veteran ladies.
Sian will be travelling to Suhl, Germany on the 28th of April, as a member of Team GB, taking part in the first of the International Junior Competitions.
May will be a quieter month as Sian will be sitting her Standard Grade exams, although she will continue to take part in local registered shoots and training.
