The funds raised from this event will go entirely to the IGBF National Fund for distribution to the 60 families in the North West region, who through illness, accident or business failure now find themselves in difficult financial circumstances.

Sean Kenna, Managing Director at CBE, explains why they were keen to support the event – “Over the past 30 years the retailers of Ireland have supported CBE by continuing to select us as the preferred EPoS supplier of choice for their stores. In fact, many of our clients are on their third or fourth generation CBE system. By supporting the IGBF, we welcome the opportunity to give something back to the Irish retail community”.

Now its 32nd year, the IGBF provides financial relief for persons in need, who have been involved in the Food and Beverage Trades.
