Australian television broadcaster, Network Ten, has triumphed at the Coles Supplier Awards, winning the Outstanding Service Award.
At a gala dinner in Melbourne attended by more than 1000 Coles suppliers and team members, Network Ten was recognised for a decade of collaboration with Coles in showcasing great Aussie produce on MasterChef Australia.
Each season, Ten and Coles have worked together to inspire Aussies in the kitchen with exciting new ingredients, profiles on our top suppliers across the country and themes such as seasonal trends and responsible sourcing.
Network Ten’s Chief Sales Officer Rod Prosser said the team was delighted to win the award on the 10th anniversary of the partnership.
“Over the past 10 years, and together with the team at Coles and Endemol Shine Australia, we are proud to have showcased every day Australians making extraordinary food, inspiring a nation to create delicious meals at home,” he said.
