Service Level Agreement - We will respond to your email and phone calls within 48 hours. The email address to use is rachel@eatlincolnshire.com

Rachel also conducts continuous business research on behalf of the membership base to establish knowledge of other sources of advice and guidance, changes to food laws, events, opportunities, funding streams etc which will affect and/or be of interest and importance to members.

Network with us:

Drop In Sessions - We will be holding “drop-in” clinics around the county for you to meet the team in person and help with any queries you may have. The date and location for these will be posted here shortly.

Linked In - We have created a LinkedIn group: Select and Taste of Lincolnshire Partnership to communicate relevant information to you in real time but also to allow you to communicate with us on areas of discussion or interest.

Twitter - We have created the #eatLINCS hash tag on Twitter to help Tweeters identify food from Lincolnshire, and we will continue to use this hash tag whenever we are promoting the partnership and the work we’re doing. Why not create a #eatLINCS saved search on Twitter to keep you up to date?

*In development and available shortly. Whilst we work to bring this benefit to you, please contact Rachel for specific advice / support.
