Join us for our next Food and Drink Special Interest Group –
Seeking out new markets – diversifying exports in a tumultuous trading climate
We are pleased to invite you to our refreshed Food and Drink Special Interest Group, created to support trade professionals working in the food and drink sector. This group has been created with our members in mind, providing you with expert insights, peer-to-peer guidance, and support.
The start of 2025 has seen some of the most dramatic changes to trading conditions in recent memory, with the food and drink sector particularly affected.
British companies are resilient, and by seeking new markets in challenging times, there is opportunity to seek out new revenue streams or solidify existing product in new markets.
In this session, Joe will review:
- Reports of export markets for food and drink products in 2025.
- Challenges faced by exporters including common issues across the border.
Come prepared to engage, share, and collaborate as we build a strong community of professionals dedicated to advancing this vital sector.
