Supermarket Morrisons has launched a search for the South West’s best food and drink producers and is inviting suppliers from across the region to pitch for a place on its shelves.

Radley Small of Morrisons said: ’Our customers tell us they want to see even more food that is made in Devon and Cornwall and that’s why we’re asking the best suppliers to get in touch.’

Morrisons buyers will invite the suppliers to showcase their products at an event in Rattery, Devon on March 22.

Successful suppliers will then have the opportunity to be listed in Morrisons stores.
