REPRO FREE 9 Clare food businesses who made pitches to Musgrave Group representatives last month have secured shelf space for their products in Supervalu stores. Each of the businesses are participants of the Food Academy Start Programme, an initiative of Bord Bia, Supervalu and Local Enterprise Office Clare, which is aimed at nurturing start up food companies. The programme comprised three full-day workshops and one-to-one mentor visits for the participating businesses, concluding with a showcase event for their products at The Temple Gate Hotel in Ennis.
