Home Team Lunch: June Diamond Jubilee

In honour of Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee, we stepped outside for an hour of fun, food and favourite British bands.

This was the first outdoor companywide lunch of the year and possibly our best meal yet! Epicure Home Team Members celebrated beneath the sunny sky, diving right in to a delicious meal featuring grilled bratwurst, veggie dogs, pesto pasta & veggie salad and an elegant mix of garden greens and a variety of cookies.

This month we crowned our Receiving and Inventory Clerk Shannon as Star of the Month. Her first act was to play ‘tiara toss’, winning each and every HTM a new set of Locking Silicone Tongs.
