Away from work… my young fella presented with his 23’ Premiership Ring at last nights

Eli was one excited kid - and I was excited that he has handing it to such a legend (just in different colours now).

Good on you Luke!

The team & recently attended the - held at

Two chefs are invited from Sydney to take on two local chefs from Newcastle/Hunter Valley in a ‘cook off’.

The coolest part of the event - which is worked in conjunction with - is that the event is not only to celebrate the creations of these fine chefs - but they work with some of the best up and coming apprentice chefs within the region. It’s a great experience for these kids who will one day - become the next breed of talent cooking at your favourite restaurants…

We’re stoked to play our small part as a sponsor of the Hunter Culinary Association and of the

The food presented by these chefs and their apprentices on the day was first class…

I’ve attached some happy pics from the day…

My first fresh Tasmanian Truffle sale for the 23’ season…

Peak truffle season is generally mid July… the colder the weather, the better the perfume and flavour.

The truffle season is generally finished by September - so don’t leave it too late… reach out to your awesome Area Sales Consultant The Provedores or the_lone_salesman to get your hands on the best Australian Truffles available to the market.

The food service industry is such a great community to work within…

On one of the local FB chef pages - a small business was expanding their home made nutritional meals business into Newcastle - and didn’t quite know where to start…

reached out to offer support - and the areas of her business that we might be able to help her with.

And then… very unexpectedly, her post received comments from chefs and business owners that I’ve worked with in the past - and some that I still work with to this very day - encouraging the business owner to have a look at range and services.

This is what it’s all about for me… the fact that these customers have enjoyed the experience of working with our family owned business - and the service provided not only from me - but all departments of our business (customer service, night packers, truck drivers etc) - we all work for the common goal of exceeding customer expectations… and to receive comments like this - truly meant a lot to me…

I’ve (poorly 😆) scribbled over their names as to not embarrass them - but they know who they are - and I really appreciate those kind words, our friendships and I seriously love you guys for doing something like this - it really made my day and it’s acknowledgement (for me) to to know that the service that I/we offer is working and it’s appreciated… so THANK YOU 🙏 ❤️

Photos today with just a handful of the crew who helped me celebrate today. You are all legends (those pictured and those that I missed) - so thank you all again 🙏

A special mention to ‘Purchasing Extraordinaire’ Leigh C. For organising the card, confetti/sign and the Schnitzel/Vanilla Slice! You know me far to well (worked together for far too long 😆)

This photo keeps popping up in my memories… for 4 years now - and will continue to share this day - proving how big an impact moving over to has had on me as a person - during a really tough year for me personally… 4 years ago today was the first meeting with the owners (and my future family) - I started 3 days later. Moving to The Provedores allowed me to think big, do big - and believe that anything (within reason 😉) is possible… just like I use too.

Will always be grateful for the invite to meet up - and to be given the opportunity to do what I do… 💋

found himself on the truck today doing deliveries with which was great fun to mix things up.

We went to one of our customers super early where only the cleaners were onsite. We proceeded to put his products away in the proper areas - before letting him 👨‍🍳 know that we were there… a bit like Santa Claus I suppose…
