On July 15th 2010, a selection of Pabulum’s Unit Managers and Fleet Office staff travelled from across the South to Wokefeld Park, Reading, to attend Pabulum’s first company conference – Meet 2010.

The event was a buzz of activity, with approximately 100 people in attendance. The jam-packed agenda focused on taking a fresh approach (in a business sense) – looking at how we’ve developed as a company, where we’re going and how, as a fabulous team, we’re going to get there. A huge thanks goes to a number of our suppliers who attended and helped support the event@ including 3663, CafeBar, Dairy Crest, Easi Yo, Ecolab, GSK, Love Joes, Denny's Mars, New Forest Ice Cream and Tropical Ice. 
 
Highlights included a presentation by our Group Finance Director, Trevor Sharp, about Pabulum’s interesting ‘Journey’ so far (including lots of interesting facts and embarrassing pictures along the way), and Jonathan Gawthrop, Managing Director, provided an exciting insight into what the future holds for the company (below).
