SumoSalad, Lagardère Travel Retail bagged 'Partnership of the Year'
Recognised and awarded ‘Partnership of the Year’ at the 32nd annual Frontier Awards.
The Awards celebrate global innovation and excellence in travel retail.
“We are thrilled to be globally recognised for our successful partnership with SumoSalad,” said CEO of Lagardère Travel Retail in the Pacific, Matthieu Mercier.
“We continue to see an impressive growth in the healthy Foodservice sector, and this award is yet another indication that our partnership is progressing. We’re very excited about our future with SumoSalad, and our shared mission of bringing world class quality, healthy fast food to travel retail”.
Lagardère Travel Retail partnered with SumoSalad in November 2015, opening the first SumoSalad Green Label store in travel retail in Sydney Airport’s Domestic T2 terminal. A second SumoSalad will soon open in Sydney Airport’s International Terminal, and 2017 will see the first SumoSalad in Melbourne Airport T2 open.
Luke Baylis, CEO and Co-Founder of SumoSalad said the partnership with Lagardère Travel Retail supported their passion to make premium and locally-sourced healthy food a convenient and affordable option for everyone –even when travelling.
“SumoSalad offers health-conscious people tasty and nutritious fast food. Choosing nutritious, protein-rich foods can help bolster your hydration levels, and that's particularly important when travelling to help you feel comfortable during the flight and allow you to arrive feeling the best you can. There has never been a better time to check-in early!” Baylis said.
