Local celebrity and Apprentice finalist, Camilla Ainsworth, has chosen East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust (ELHT) to be the first hospital to stock her new nut milk - M+lk Plus.
The talented business star arrived at Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital’s Grane Restaurant on Friday to promote the launch of the milk sales which will be available at the Burnley and Blackburn sites.
Tim Radcliff, Catering Manager, has welcomed the decision to procure Camilla’s M+lk Plus as a nutty alternative to dairy. He said, “Providing M+lk Plus through our catering services supports the work we have already carried out to gain the Soil Association Certification. The Catering Team pride themselves on providing an environment that supports healthy choices and a range of dietary requirements. ELHT is keeping up with the vegan boom and procuring M+lk Plus means that we can offer a wider variety of healthy food and drink to the local community whether they are vegan, dairy intolerant or just looking to try something different.”
Camilla offered out free tasters to guests at The Grane Restaurant and received great feedback from those who were trying a nut alternative for the first time. One happy customer commented: “I can’t have cow’s milk and I don’t have a lot of sugar either so this is perfect for me. I will definitely be buying some.”
The hospital restaurant was jam-packed with curious customers eager to meet and congratulate Camilla as she discussed the current health conscious trends. Camilla explained: “The dairy-free juggernaut shows no signs of slowing down and M+lk Plus is a product of the future. There is nothing else like it on the shelves. This is the first hospital in the UK to stock the product and it is great for me to be a pioneer in the health care system.”
