CLR Sales and Services Ltd (CLR) is reinforcing its commitment to the catering industry and local charitable causes by sponsoring an exclusive evening at the Signature Food Festival at The Chester Hotel in Autumn.

“Supporting events like the Signature Food Festival is a natural fit for CLR,” says Matthew McKenzie, managing director.
